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.

Yes, you can. You can also die from riding a bike, flying a kite, playing baseball, walking down a hill and any other activity you can name.

Is horseriding more dangerous than gymnastics?
I think horseback riding is much more dangerous. Remember that the rider of a horse has to control a 1,600 pound animal with little more than a pair of reins. Horses, like all animals, can be unpredictable. They can buck, rear, etc at any moment. And, sometimes if you fall the horse might land on you. So I believe horseback riding is much more dangerous, even though soccer can be, too.
Who should ride the horse?
Anybody is able to ride a horse but that does not necessarily mean they should. Some people are too scared of riding to ride well without scaring the horse also and making it buck, bolt, rear or just not do as the rider wants them to. Rearing is dangerous as the horse can fall on top of you, and if you are riding western and that happens you can be killed. Some people are not good enough at riding to ride all horses as more difficult horses will take advantage of beginners and rear, buck, bolt or just not do as the rider wants.
