      Have the horse I ride: Dingo. He’s not my pony, i just ride him with riding lessons. When people say: *”You just sit there”* Im Like: Have you ever even ridden a horse? ;w; because like some of them, you really have to use you’re sit to keep them walking where you want the to walk xD

    I had a friend who was toxic to me and tried to make me feel bad about the one thing im proud of. My riding. She isnt my friend anymore. She told me that riding was easy, that the horse did all the work. I sat her on top of a horse and cantered circles around her while she sat on an older beginner horse walking around the arena. She even had the audacity to demand that SHE do all of that stuff because it was so easy. My instructor asked her to trot. She couldn't. By that point i was jumping and practicing getting my horse in frame, and she was extrememly frustrated. To this day i still grin at the memory.

People make fun of me because they say it’s easy and horses are weak, but when I fell off my horse at 16 years old I broke my leg and arm. My fingers were crushed. I thought that it would be the end because the one horse I loved died in the accident. He snapped his ankle in half. People stopped making fun of me and started morning with me. I miss him so much and now I train and do eventing all for him.

    @Night-Meow 7 років тому +642

    From people sitting straight up in the saddle to perform an intricate dance to tiny people crouching in the stirrups, weighing to the point that the horse will barely feel them as it barrels down a track, these people live a life of danger but with passion. Then you have the daredevils and flying steeds that go over obstacles fearlessly and to the ones that slide to a halt within seconds and those that spin around a barrel in a certain pattern. Riders and horses take hours and hours of practice to perfect what they want to do. This costs money, time, effort, energy, patience, trust, and confidence to do what they are pursuing. It's an emotional roller coaster as well, for both horse, rider, and the entire team that's backing them up.
    Horseback riding isn't just a sport or a hobby for some people, it's a lifestyle for them. They made it part of their life. Even for those who do it for fun know that it's damn well hard to do and ain't easy in the slightest.

      Well it was a great price for such an amazing horse. His breeders definitely sold him for way less than he is worth.
      (If you live in Europe and want a pony, please consider a Haflinger from Tirol in Austria. If no one buys them they go to the butchers.)

Have you jumped with the risk of breaking a bone or die? Have you galloped on a beautiful creature that can trample you if you fall? Have you trusted an animal that can turn its back on you at any moment? Have you ridden an 18 hand horse? Have you cantered bareback?” My main question is have you come face to face with a A big animal 10 times your size that’s pure meat and muscle?”

    THANK YOU!! Equestrianism has been rated the most dangerous sport, OVER race car racing and other sports. One time, on the news, they had a whole discussion on how dangerous Equestrianism is, and all. I work, ride, and care for polo ponies, and those are the most stuck up horse you'll ever meet, because they are so valuable to the game, and they know it. Without them, there is no game, and they Lord it over you. I've been kicked multiple times, nipped, almost bitted on the face and shoulder, pushed, shoved, slammed. And they swing their head at you like a club. So, tell your brother to come down to the brandywine polo club, and I'll have him help me with my horses. See what he thinks then, and that's not even RIDING them!

      But in riding, I was once in a 9 day coma 3 years ago, and recently, on New Years, I broke both my legs going over a 1.40m jump and fell onto the concrete. (one leg had bone sticking out) and it was horrible.
      And the only serious injury I had in 10 years of dance was breaking my pinkie from doing an one of the most dangerous overhead lifts.

It’s and you get to know and love your horse you start to trust it with all your heart you go through the good and the bad with them! Every time you get better it’s not just you getting better but it’s also the horse getting better too!!! You take a risk every day when you get on Your horse but your horse also takes a risk and that risk is them getting hurt in some way! The horse and you both have to trust each other feel the love and have a bond if you don’t have that then you mostly likely won’t try as hard because you’re looking for something else instead of looking for something else look at the beautiful creature right in front of you that has done so much for you!!! ❤️!!!

    I agree with this. But from the way I see it you should never feel like you’re going to die, if you are truly an equestrian than you trust your horse with not only your performance but with your life. Yes I have been nervous about falling off before, but never that my horse would let me get hurt if it could stop it at all. Plus half of riding is being knowing that you are taking a risk, but still trusting your mount. Please don’t hate. It’s just my opinion.

I trust my horse with my life but I still make conscious decisions like when he tears to lean forward because if I lean back I could die. Also I choose to wear a helmet. Like I said I trust him with my life, but you as an equestrian should always be cautious around a horse no matter how much you trust it. Like I said just my opinions

This is what she said: "you need to go to kindergarten, horse back riding is not a sport. A sport is when you work hard, get muscles, try HARD, horse back riding is just sitting there and let you're horse do all the work." I got mad and told her a bunch of stuff that you have to do.

Ain't anything better than the feeling that a fellow being has a kinship with you.

      Silixia hey, I mean no harm and I’m just putting my opinion out here I really do mean no disrespect so please don’t come back and get mad at me for this.
      Here is my stance:
      Is horse back riding easy: Well fuck no.
      Is horse back riding a sport: Not Exactly
      Is horse back riding one of the easier “sports” to quickly pick up and be somewhat competent in: Yes Definitely
      Is horse back riding the hardest “sport”: well fuck no.
      Now the reason I say it’s not exactly a sport is because I think the term sport has become much more of an umbrella term. I think sports are things that are never or were never done in natural life that take precise skill athleticism and coordination. I think a lot of the people who run track or horseback ride do just really want to feel included with the sports and the things that most people care about paying attention to so this whole debate started. Am I saying it’s not in any way a sport? No. I’m saying it is an extremely general partial sport. Does that mean I’m saying it’s easy? Well again, fuck no.
      Again, I just really wanted to put my opinion out here, I don’t want this to start some crazy people yelling at me or getting angry debate. I just want to see what people think of what I say. So please, I beg of you, this is absolutely nothing personal, it’s just a friendly argument/ debate I’d like to take part in. Thank you for your time and thank you so much for reading this,

    To be honest I always knew it was very dangerous to ride a horse and you need to practise nearly five hours a day
    That is why I really love horse riders
    AND I SWEAR TO GOD WHO EVER SAYS ITS NOT A SPORT THEY CAN GO TRY FOR THEM SELVES (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

    Am I the only one who gets into these situations 99.9% of the time??
    And has anyone else gotten into a situation where people ask "what sport do you PLAY?" And you don't want to answer because your an equestrian and we don't PLAY, we work our asses off to be the best we can, in other sports you have a chance of getting a broken bone, concussion, or mild injuries like that. But equestrians could snap their neck, get crushed, or even trampled. Bucked, thrown, or even fall- and we still get back in the saddle. In my opinion we don't PLAY a sport we WORK at a sport!🐎

      To support your comment, I would like to put out that in 2015, a horse bolted and I fell onto some rocks as we were hacking on a rocky area, In result I was in a coma for 2 weeks. Recently, at New Years 2018, I had another dangerous fall and broke both my legs, (on one leg the bone was sticking out of my skin)
      Horse falls may sometimes be harmless but when you try a difficult horse, any danger can happen.
      I would also like to put out for no reason.
      Football isn't a proper sport, it is a game.

    "all you do is sit there,tap their stomach,and pull those string" "you just force the horses to jump and just sit down and hold on" "football is way harder" "i could handle a horse any time,you only feed them 1 time" "it takes no practice to ride a horse i can just get on and gallop away" these are some things i've heard my years of riding.

      Do people actually think they can gallop on their first try? It literally took me a year to be able to trot without a lead rope, though I still don't know how to gallop because my horse riding lessons had to stop because of Covid. Though I'm going to apply for the equine studies course at Myerscough this year, wish me luck!

    And then I'm like "Oh really how is that now?"
    My older sister says "All you do is sit on a horse and do nothing!!"
    Then I'm like "Well you see you do football and all you do is kick a ball around and actually when trotting your going up and down and when jumping you are folding and when galloping you are not sitting down sooo.... and anyway you don't go to football anymore so at least I'm doing a sport instead of on my phone all day"

    To be an equestrian, you have to trust the horse, that is a person who knows how to ride. They tell me that everyone can do it, and that's not true, not everyone can do it, and it's not as easy as it looks, you have to trust yourself and the horse, and be sure of yourself, the horse understands you, and you have to understand him. The horse and the human are very similar, but some people do not know

      Exactly. They say all we do is sit there but the real "sitting there" tlak about car racing, and yet it's very famous. Cars you can fix the engine and program it the way you want. Horse is a breathing animal. An unpredictable one. It's all about the bond and trust.
