People think horseback riding isn't a sport because they think the horse does all the work. You do a lot of work too.It isn't as easy as people say it is but it is really fun. Unless you don't like horses. People think it isn't a sport because they are inferier and unable to grasp the concept that us riders do do something up on the horse. Horses can't do this by-themselves, it does take a lot of mussel to do this. I'd like to see you try. I'm positive you can't if you don't already ride. Its hard stuff we do, try to do a leg yield or a sholder in, bet you cant, or even get your horse into a nice collected canter, without hurting his mouth. Or even sit a buck or not fall of when you horse spooks and rears many times. Try it sometime and you'll see, but not one of those places were you go dowm a mountain side, accual riding. TRY AND SEE!!!

Which kind of riding demands perfection riding in an upright position with a strong curvature of the haunches regularity skill and finesse in all of the natural gaits in dressage?

I think it is Campagne Riding:) Saying "I think it is" makes people wonder if it is or not and makes them wonder if your wrong or something because your saying "I think it is". Next time you answer a question don't use "I think it is" or people will think that your not really sure if it is or not!


Is bird watching a sport?

It depends on the point of view. For example, some people say horseback riding is a sport, others say it is not. The same goes for dancing, chess, and bird watching. My personal opinion is that it is a sport, because it has a defined goal (spotting and successfully identifying birds) and it is a form of exertion. Of course, my definition of a sport is looser than some peoples'. Some would say a sport has to have teams, (although a birdwatching group... ) others might say it's not strenuous enough, (but then, if you think about golf...) and others might say you have to score in some way to consider it a sport. (Of course, some birders keep a life list - a scoresheet of the birds they've seen...)Like I said, my personal opinion is that yes, birdwatching is a sport. However, a convincing argument could be made for either opinion.


What is it called when you are Lifting up and down on a horse?

I'm not entirely sure what the meaning of your question is, but if you mean getting on and off a horse, that's called mounting and dismounting. If you mean when you stand up and sit down when trotting, that's called rising trot. I can't think what else you mean.

What styles of horseback riding have ever been in the Olympics?

Dressage, Show Jumping, and Cross Country are the styles of horseback riding but there may or may not have been some western riding in there... Answer2: Currently only Dressage, Show Jumping, and Eventing are Olympic sports. In the past the high jump (puissance) and long jump were included, but these events were dropped in favor of the top three events. In the ancient Olympic chariot racing was involved, but this is also no longer included. Western riding has never been an Olympic sport and attempts to have sports like reining included have been turned down multiple times by the Olympic committee.

What makes horseback riding a sport?

Answer:Actually it doesn't matter AT ALL how fast your horse is going if you know what you are doing. It really depends on what discipline that you are riding. A normal trail ride is not as much exercise as riding a 3 foot course or performing a 3rd level dressage test. In each of these disciplines, the horse is asked to collect, making it go slower. The speed of your ride has nothing to do with how many calories you burn, lazier horses are actually harder to ride because it takes more work to get anything out of them. Also, anyone can sit on a horse while it is running, but not everyone can do a posting trot.yes it is. you have to control, stop, start ur horse plus a lot of stuff depending on your dicelpin! (yes I know I spelt that wrong, can someone who knows correct that?)
