         2 . The multi-directional reciprocating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each rotational bar (B) comprises:
 a housing (B 1 ) having a ring-shape hollow structure and receiving bearings (BRG) mounted at the support bar (F) and a support frame, respectively; and   a coupling bar (B 2 ) mounted in the housing (B 1 ).   
     
     
         3 . The multi-directional reciprocating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the left-right transfer unit ( 120 ) comprises:
 a vertical plate ( 122 ) installed perpendicularly at one side of the support plate ( 110 ) to operate together with the support frame;   a driving pulley ( 123 ) installed rotatably on one lateral surface of the vertical plate ( 122 );   a driven pulley ( 124 ) operating together with the driving pulley ( 123 );   a transfer bar ( 125 ) eccentrically mounted on one lateral surface of the driven pulley ( 124 ); and   a fixed bar ( 126 ) rotatably mounting a portion of the transfer bar ( 125 ) and fixed to the support ( 10 ).   
     
     
         4 . The multi-directional reciprocating apparatus of  claim 3 , further comprising a left-right driving unit ( 130 ) to drive the driving pulley ( 123 ),
 wherein the left-right driving unit ( 130 ) comprises:   a first pulley ( 131 ) rotated by external power and mounted on an opposite lateral surface of the vertical plate ( 122 ); and   a second pulley ( 132 ) provided at one side of the first pulley ( 131 ) to operate together with the first pulley ( 131 ) and directly coupled to the driving pulley ( 123 ).   
     
     
         5 . The multi-directional reciprocating apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising a power cable ( 134 ) coupled to the first pulley ( 131 ) to drive the first pulley ( 131 ), wherein the power cable ( 134 ) is rotated by external power. 
     
     
         6 . A horse riding apparatus ( 200 ) using a multi-directional reciprocating apparatus according to  claim 1 , the horse riding apparatus ( 200 ) comprising:
 saddle support members ( 210 ) mounted at both side ends of support plates ( 110 ) in a direction of a support ( 10 ) and allowing a saddle (S) to be mounted thereon;   a support bar unit (BU) having one side mounted at the saddle support member ( 210 ) and an opposite side mounted at one side of the support frame of the multi-directional reciprocating apparatus; and   a support member ( 280 ) mounted in the support bar unit (BU) to support a user seated on the saddle (S).   
     
     
         7 . The horse riding apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the support bar unit (BU) comprises:
 rear support bars ( 220 ) rotatably and perpendicularly mounted at both sides of the saddle support member ( 210 );   a front support bar ( 240 ) perpendicularly mounted at one side of a support frame ( 1 ) of the multi-directional reciprocating apparatus; and   a horizontal support bar ( 230 ) to couple the rear support bars ( 220 ) to the front support bar ( 240 ).   
     
     
         8 . The horse riding apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the horizontal support bar ( 230 ) is mounted vertically or horizontally rotatably about the front support bar ( 240 ). 
     
     
         9 . The horse riding apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the front support bar ( 240 ) has a substantially C shape vertically provided, and both open side ends mounted on the support frame ( 1 ), and
 the horizontal support bar ( 230 ) has a substantially C shape, and both open side ends provided vertically rotatably about the rear support bars ( 220 ), respectively, and   wherein the horse riding apparatus further comprises:   a pin member ( 250 ) mounted at a contact part between the horizontal support bar ( 230 ) and the front support bar ( 240 ) horizontally to the front support bar ( 240 ) to allow the vertical rotation; and   a hinge member ( 260 ) having one side mounted at the pin member ( 250 ) and an opposite side mounted at the horizontal support bar ( 230 ) to allow the horizontal rotation.   
     
     
         10 . A horse riding method by a horse riding apparatus according to  claim 6 , the horse riding method comprising allowing a user seated on a saddle (S) to put on a support member ( 280 ), wherein, in a state that the support member ( 280 ) is fixed to a horizontal support bar ( 230 ) or a rear support bar ( 220 ), the saddle (S) is moved left and right by a multi-directional reciprocating apparatus while being moved up, down, back, and forth by a lifting member ( 30 ) and a transfer member ( 20 ) included in the multi-directional reciprocating apparatus.
