i know it is a sport the people at my school dont treat me right because they say i ride horses and thats dum and its not a sport i get ticked off
I know it is a sport as well but my mum and one of my friends think that it isn’t!. Its so annoying but I’m going to start taking horse riding lessons.
i know thats what i said in my other one
haha, horseriding isnt a sport!
@Amigo14100 ….yea……i just started riding like a year ago…(im a fast learner……started a posting trot on the rail my first time on a horse in my first lesson) and i won first place in my first show on my first like thingy i was in…..and i was agenst more than 25 people who were either adults or kids who have been riding there whole life……
havent fallen off yet….but anything can happen…my horse tryed bucking me off but…..lets just say a whip is a girls best friend… 
thats awsome, and ya, the crop works
I have been riding for 13 years. well I started when I was 2, but nothing really counts until your atleast 6. so I guess 9 years 
. that is awsome how fast of a learner you are:) riding is hard and only a lucky few can catch on so quicktly, me not being one of them 
and its awsome that you got first 
good job, keap on going. you seem like you are improving quicktly 
yes it sport i have been riding 4-5yrs now i love it is definetly a sport do you have any horses i dont but my m8 has 18
I’ve only been riding about a year and a half, and already, I’ve fallen off a horse, had a horse buck for no reason (this happened three times) ridden a two year old, ridden a 4 year old, got a bruise from my saddle horn while cantering and having my 10 year old horse stop suddenly, had my horse come up lame a week before a show i’d been practicing all year for, and had my horse back up for no reason at a fun show-almost bumping into another horse. And people say football is dangerous! HA!
i hate wen ppl are like u just sit ther and hang on while the horse dose the work well madey on a pony ride at the fair well i think they shod do some riding with out lesons and see how long they stay on 4 mabey a good galop will put them in ther place. xxoxox i luv u horse’s xoxox
@ jellolz, have u even ever been on a horse?? and xohorsejumpeluvxo i hate that too….. i usually just say well if u did that u would end up eating dust……. im on my second broken arm from my horse stepping on me lol not really…..:)
riding is my life! and it is a sport. its in the alimpics i think. i love my horse and would do anything for my horse.
@Jellolz then i would like to see you try it. Lets put you on a really fresh horse and let it buck you around for a bit and we will see what you say later if you stay on. you will be sore as fuck
@3ponypeople especially when they are FRESH! i totally agree
omg i was jumping around n screamin sayin “o no u didnt!!” wen i was readin this!!! i wanna c u ride mi horse around a barrel cuz she’ll take off n leave u on ur fat ass in the dirt 1derin y u sed horse riding wasnt a sport!! go die on ur o so dangerous skateboard! u can burn over 900 calories per hour galloping on a horse! wat a lump on a log right?!
How can people EVER say riding isn’t a sport?!?! What do they know?!?! If it wasn’t a sport, then why is it in the olympics??? And it is also said to be one of the most challenging SPORT on the planet!!! Nobody would ever be able to even stay on over a jump or at the gallop or even at the canter if they weren’t very, very strong, BRAVE, and coordinated. Not only is it great for your body but also for your mind, it is the best sport for your confidence and courage. RIDING IS THE BEST!!!
@jillysgem
really, they said that?!?! grr. Well just don’t listen to them i’ve been riding since i was 7 and i kno for SURE that it is NOT dum and it IS a sport (it is in the olympics!) what do they know they’re probably just scared, but you’re not!! They don’t have the courage to zoom around on a horse, but you do!!! remember, hatred is caused by fear. just keep on riding, don’t listen to those bullies, and you’ll be all right!!
havesomeswineflu:
It’s amazing the amount of time you DON’T spend sitting in the saddle and letting our horse do all the work. From the moment you get on, you’re working.
oh really? tell that to the olympic committee. and why dont u try it? u work more muscles in ur body when you ride than when u do any other sport! plus. its actually safer to smoke cannabis all day than to get on a horse.
horseback riding is such a hard sport. you have to trust a animal on your life. the people that think its eay only say that because they are too afraid to try it
@Jellolz Wow, so, I’m guessing what you do all day is look up videos like this a post rude comments on them, like horeback riding isn’t a sport. You know, I feel kind of sorry for you. It’s sad you don’t have anything to do in your life. Well I know, why don’t you go horseback riding and try to deal with a 1,000-1,5500 lbs animal that doesn’t like what your doing up there and can kill you in a blink of an eye.
I meant to say 1,500 not 1,5500
@All you yelling at Jellolz, let us be honest with ourselves. Is the idiotic, indenial, tiny brained child ever going to come back and look at this? … No. So why let him (or her) succeed in trolling? Point. We all know our horses are our lives, and we all know that it *is* a sport. So just read over it and go.
“If he was on a horse. He wouldn’t last 5 minutes without breaking something. So let him fail,” move along, and watch another good video on horses.

so ppl say tht the horse does all the work whn u gt on but truly it is a team work effort.( I LOVE HORSES!!)
I love this video. It truely shows everything this sport is about. Everytime we ride, even work with these horses we have to be able to communicate, work together, and of course face the risks of working with a 1,000+ pound animal with it’s own mind and personality.
Oh my gosh…. that was….. absolutely…. AMAZING!! IM GONNA CRY!! IT WAS THE BEST SONG CHOICE EVER!!! I am a rider myself, and you people better believe that horse riding is NO walk in the park
