Answer:
Horseback riding is a sport. it has been around since horses were brought over by Christopher Columbus, were used in the wars, and is also in the Olympics. its on TV, and is watched by people all the time, there are horse shows, sales, and more than a million barns in the world. people believe the horse does all the work, but this is not true. you use all of your leg muscle and learn how to communicate through your seat and hands (more your seat) some of the professionals write books to tell people of they're riding experiences. my mother has had our barn for 12 years. I've been riding since i was two, love it and enjoy every moment of it. finding the right horse is hard sometimes but yes, riding is DEFIANTLY a sport.
I also consider it as a very adventurous sport. In both English and Western horse riding there are numerous options of sports.
1) Dressage: If you like individual competition and your horse has the potential for learning to respond well to subtle cues from you, then you might consider dressage.
2) Cross-country Riding: If you prefer more action and want to feel the heat of the race, you're likely to enjoy endurance riding or cross-country riding.
3) Jumping: Another popular event at many horse shows is jumping.
4) Eventing: is a combination of dressage, show jumping, and cross-country riding.
5) Driving: is a popular sport; keep in mind, though, that you will incur the expense of a cart or other type of horse-drawn vehicle.
6) At the high-action end of the spectrum are team sports such as polo, polocrosse, and horseball. Horse racing is also a high profile sport with plenty of excitement.
7) The Western Horse Riding Sports include breakaway roping, team roping, calf roping, bareback riding and saddle bronc riding are among the most exciting, albeit the most dangerous, of riding sports.
barrel racing is also a western sport as well
Answer:
Yes, horseback riding is a sport. Many people will disagree, but obviously, they haven't experienced it!
Horseback riding requires a lot of balance, confidence, and it considered the most dangerous SPORT. Horseback riding will help you lose thigh fat, waist fat, it will improve your balance, uses the muscles in your fingers, the muscles in your arms, and the muscles in your legs.
Thighs and waist- rising trot and jumping require a lot of balance, the movement from the horse and your required movement will improve you thighs and waist.
Balance- Riding bareback, cantering and jumping is all about balance and finding distances. Without any balance you would fall or hurt the horse.
The muscles in your fingers are used whenever you have a tougher horse to control, as you control the horse mainly with your hands. Hands are one of the most important natural aid, it is also used is dressage.
Your legs are another VERY important aid, they help you control the horses gait, speed and movement. Dressage requires you using a lot of muscle in your legs.
Well its a workout for the horse not for you
Actually, it is a workout for both the horse and the rider. If you ever ride a horse you will see what I mean. You work with balance, and so many things you don't even notice. And of course, the horse is working too.
IT was the only way to move and not a sport 200 years ago. There were sports played by Indians prior to horses coming to America. They sure are fun to have now though!
3-Day Eventing, Dressage and Show Jumping are all Summer Olympic sports.
Well because it is. To people who don't ride they don't seem to understand all the training that is required to be a good rider let alone a great one.
Most definitely.
Yes, I believe so. I ride!

Horseriding is a sport, and anybody who tells you otherwise knows nothing about it. There are several equestrian disciplines at the Olympics. Most people don't consider horse back riding a sport because they have never tried it before. I know I'm an instrutor. I have taught many people that used to be that way, until their first riding lesson!
horse back riding is one of the most difficult sports in the world. and the most un safest. the most commen riding is hunter jumper! and dressage. hunter jumper and dressage are styles of riding where you compete at high stander horse shows. western is also a style of riding, but most people just ride western when they are so called on vacation. (just to relax)also in addition its the most judgmental sport.

You mean with horses? I am an equestrian myself and it isnt exactly played. We do all different things, Jumping, Barrel racing, English, Western.
The sport of riding and shooting is called, very simply, competitive shooting. It involved cones and balloons and guns that fire blanks. It is a timed competition based on how fast you go as well as accuracy. Some hunters may consider riding and hunting which involves shooting off the back of a horse as well, a "sport".
Nope, Horse Back riding is a SPORT just like football, hockey, etc Unless it is bareback, it is possible for women to feel pleasure from the way they're hips are moving in contact with the horses backbone.

It depends on the riding school.
There is a number of horse back riding places around. Depending on where you live and what you want out of horse back riding lessons. The best is the Ceader lodge and also Jeffery Wilms ranch.
