Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

In relation to the question, as the sheriff rides a horse, the sheriff is in motion and a body in motion is said top possess kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is that energy of the body that it gains due to the motion or speed of the body which it gains and maintains.

In other words, we can say that the amount of work needed to accelerate an object from its position of rest and set it into motion at some certain velocity.
