horse riding is a risk because if you fall off the horse you can get hurt so easily. you could even get killed! remember a horse weights almost as much as a car and they get scared very easily and when they get scared their natural reaction is to kick, buck, rear or bigroot. they're trying to protect themselves. anyway if you never let them do it in their mind they wouldn't no how to do it i hope this helped horse riding is a risk because if you fall off the horse you can get hurt so easily. you could even get killed! remember a horse weights almost as much as a car and they get scared very easily and when they get scared their natural reaction is to kick, buck, rear or bigroot. they're trying to protect themselves. anyway if you never let them do it in their mind they wouldn't no how to do it i hope this helped

Horseback riding, No.

Boxing- Maybe.

Horses are one of the most gentle creatures there ever were. They never-EVER- mean to hurt you, but they can-and WILL- only if they absolutely have to, like if you're annoying them out of there minds. (But you'd have to be the most annoying person in the world to do that.)

that is such a lie. horses are wild animals. they have been domesticated, that's y they are calm. horse back riding is one of the hardest and most dangerous sports out there. and if horses want to hurt you they can and they will. and annoying horses have nothing to do with being around them. you have to know what your doing to not get hurt. more ppl die from riding then boxing.

Many people consider horse riding as dangerous because of several reasons:

  • If you are a nervous rider, there is a very high chance that the horse will pick up on this, and will understand that you don't feel in control. This can lead to many mishaps and accidents
  • If the horse is 'green' then he has little experience. Horses and riders that are both 'green' are sometimes placed together, which is dangerous, beacuse they are both as unsure as each other
  • Many injuries can occur from horses: kicks, riding accidents, bites and diseases just to name a few. These can be painful, and in some cases, fatal

There are also many other reasons why people consider horseriding as dangerous, but I have just listed three.

Horse riding is definitely more dangerous than Rugby because horses can be unpredictable and if something does happen the worst type of injury is death, people have also been paralyzed.

What is more dangerous riding a horse or riding in a helicopter?

considering that in horseback riding you are sitting on a 1600 pound animal with a mind of its own, im thinking compared to boxing, horseback riding is far more dangerous. im not sure what the statistics are for boxing but in horseback riding, over 100,000 people are mildly to seriously injured a year and over 20 die a year from it. I hope this answers your question :) But then again, horses don't intentionally try to hurt you. In boxing, the entire point of it is to hurt the competitor.
