  • well different sports require different muscles. Men happen to have varied muscle concentration but most woman's muscle concentration in in the legs and hips. Because horseriding requires these muscles (hence why you actually develop MORE muscles in the thighs from riding) it's a sport that just happens to be more geared for women. Hence why most bodybuilders are men (but not all) and msot horseriders are women (but not all)

  • Haha, We are great at this, Aren`t we?? I wanna see the people who tell me "Oh that`s easy,all you do is sit there" actually ride a horse!!!

  • i agree that wemon are more dominate in horseback riding but at my barn some of the best trainers are men and they are amazimning.

    ps. GIRLS RULE!

  • isnt it funny how there are like no men ridiers. and then theyall go to the olympics. lol..... thatlll be mee. :))

  • Ladies are just as good as men! There are acctually more woman riders than men, *fact*

  • I love it omg at 26 seconds that looks exactly like my horse like im serous the tail the markings color hahaha and he used to be a western horse! thats funny

  • not trun its kinda hard but ride everyday it will get easy! i have a horse of my own ( well a pony) i fell 2 time its doesn't hurt!

  • I'm doing one clothes collection for the horseback riders, so i would love to find smthg about this picture...i tryed also to see what is written in the corner:DD but i didnt find anything...:(

  • hello! May I know from where u've got this picture at the 0:28 seconds? I would like to see if there is smthg more about it, because this dress that women is wearing is fantastic!!!:)

  • @kaciorrita Oh i am sorry! i made this video a long time ago and i cant remember where i got a lot of the pics from. :(

    but i do agree that dress is very pretty! :)

  • that pirouette was amazing!

  • guys are just as good as girls at riding, theres just a alot fewer of us..

  • omg she just said that guys are just good as girls did u not see the title Girls Are Great When It Come To Riding Horses! No were does it say Girls are greater then guys when it comes to horses. it is clearly a statement like saying wow this women/guy is great at soccer. No were does it bash on men no where so if u wnt to make a video saying guys are great when it comes to riding horses then go ahead. so stop whining and look at the title and it is not bashing so be quite

  • Omigosh! I LUV THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • at 3:12 is the rider trying to barrel race oh well really good

  • No. She is Meredith Beerbaum. One of the top riders in advanced showjumping. I believe she was in the "jump off" of her jumping course and was making a sharp turn to her next jump.

  • @misty159159 if she was trying to barrel race then she would be western .....

  • Great video! But guys can ride as good as girls can my friend owns 8 horses and hes awsome with all of them! And guys can have just as much emtions as girls but they dont show them cuz most girls make fun of them the..

  • LOved the video! Gave you five stars:)

  • the one where the horse fell on its face looked really really painfull.

  • i luv the pix of the fresion check my channel out plz

  • i still reacon girls are better at anything and everything.

    and people thinnk horse riding is a work in the park. i get laughed at at my school and i get called a cutie about it but if them people knew the pain, brusies, aches, accidents and everything else i went through to get at the level i am at they wouldnt be calling it cute.

  • hey ino what ye mean i made a vid bout that!! horse riding is NOT easy but its the BEST!!!

  • i completley agree with u jumpergirls! this is a sport that men or woman can do without having to be "too strong" or "more power" its even!

  • This is a awesome video. I can tell you have had a lot of experience. I've only been riding science I was 8 years old, so only 4 years. This is a great example of what it takes to be a rider. When I fall ant it's rather a bad fall i don't want to get back on the horse. I know it's better to get on now than later so i do what is best. It takes a lot of effort. ☆☆☆☆☆ This is an excellent vid. nice job. I hope you continue to follow your dreams and keep up the work!

  • Ignore the rude comments. I really liked it, and agree one hundred percent. horseback riding is not about how strong you are, it's about how well you comunicate with your horse :)

  • Hey even though it may not a be what you meant I have to agree with you in most cases on how girls tend to be better riders. Granted this is just in MY experience, but I own a horse...a Morgan, and she does so much better with my sister, and my friends than any guy, lol I call here sexist, lol.

  • omg the horse at :27 is beautiful

  • ok first off what word with the S??

    OH WHY OH WHY OH WHY!!!!??? oh it hurts sooo bad you gave me a 1 star!!! OH IT BREAKS MY HErART!!!!!!!!!!!.... to bad there is 128 other 5 stars so you opinion doesn't matter. AND i know that most of the riders and horses were NOT hurt. and if i know for sure the rider or horse got seriously hurt or killed hurt i don't use them in my videos. in fact i know a lot of the people seen in this video.

  • to bad i have 7 other accounts i can go on and give it 5 stars. and i have over 300 friends i can ask to give 5 stars. i don't even want to argue with a dork like you. you just don't get things do you?? eh anyway hope you have a nice week.

  • oh and i saw your last comment on your page. i am just 5 month shy of being an adult. and i am setting a good for kids. by not letting creeps like you get under my skin. and the riders falling off is to show that women can get back on a horse even when they fall. so they are just a s strong a men.

  • @crzy4horses1

    falling off is part of becoming a good rider, because it drills into your head what your doing wrong, so you can hurry up and fix it!! lol, it works for me at least.

  • okay, foreveranalog if you think woman only ride as kids take a look at the top dressage riders in the world. Anky Van Grunsven ring a bell? How about Ashley Holzer, Jill Henselwood, just to name a few. Men may sometimes be the top in jumping, but when it comes to true connection look at dressage. Im not saying men aren't good riders either. but seriously we are at the top also!

  • so cool!

  • whats the song

  • Love the video...shoulda included barrel racing and some other western sports, women excel in those as well

  • i love this video! great song!

  • regarding women and men:

    I think, since the horse has the ability to pick up the most subtle of cues, even when we are not intentionally sending them- it makes some women a bit better at the communication (or lack of) when it comes to asking a horses for something we need. We tend to maybe ask a little more gently. Horses listen, we don't have to scream!

  • So do the guys start riding at 2:12 right! lol! :~} awesome athletics!

    love the vid, music, cool cool thanks!

  • oops didnt mean to say it 2 times! lol

  • ok ok! but there is better music on earth comments are made for commenting! and im not bashing any thing about horses! i love them!!

  • some good pics but not so entertaining.

    u should of put on better music...no offence..XD rgeat tho

  • well you didn't have to watch it if you thought it was boring.

    and what other song am i suppose to use? the Men are Great song? i think this song fits perfectly and i don't even like kelly clarkson.

  • ok ok! but there is better music on earth comments are made for commenting! and im not bashing any thing about horses! i love them!!

  • :30 was a nice jump!!!!

  • 2:19 looks so painful for the horse!

  • jumpergirls, i totally agree with u. Yes, u have to be strong enough to do certain things, but doing it the ''hard way'' (with strength) wont work. With gentle touches, the horse WILL respond, at least in dressage.

  • It might take a little more in jumping since the stirrups are higher and the horse might not feel the leg as much. Again I wouldn't know since I do Dressage also. ._.

  • actually in jumping you can use your leg easier becuase the stirrups are higher. your leg is closer to their sides. it takes more muscle to get them on their hind quarters to go over the jump. but its mostly ab strength. i do eventing which is dressage and jumping. :P

  • Oooh that makes more sense, heh o.o

  • :O 2:13! That is CRAZY!! I wonder if she fell after that or just got a nasty bruise...

  • she fell off and got knocked out and had to go to th hospital. i think she was ok. she got a nasty head bang from the horses neck and fell about 11 feet to the ground.

  • Ouch...that sounds like it hurts...

  • love it!

    5 stars and faved.

    great idea for a video too!

  • Acually you do need quite strong legs muscles to ride.

  • @Pintomare11 so true

  • 2:15 IS AMAZING

  • Girls rulez xD

  • i think that women can understand a horse better than a man can. Women are definitly more emotional then men, obviously. but this is a good video!

  • @lbluvshorses Some men are almost as emotional as those women like me for instance....However, whatever, it's all the same? :)

  • girls are just as good but fe-male

  • I agree with the concept of this video. Although I would never state that women are better than men at riding, I recognize the point of this video is simply empowerment. We live in an INCREDIBLY patriarchal society. Equestrian sports are, indeed, one of the few levels that women compete evenly on with men. It does not come down to which sex is better. It does, however, come down to the fact that women can finally compete equally against men and often win. in almost all other areas, they lose.

  • why is there only one western pic on there?

  • because i didn't want to google more pictures and fill up my computer with more pictures.

  • well watever ...jefrma is right: both girls and guys have the same strenght on the upper body, or lower body. it does depend on the health of course, but u cant never forget: COMUNICATION/RELATIONSHIP with the horse. If you dont have it ... then its waaaay harder

  • I think it´s idiotic to state wich are better at riding, men or women, cause both are equally good. "Guys are good at riding because of their upper body strength" I believe it depends on what type of riding you´re doing and the guy´s on health. Women at this sport have equally as much strenght at their upper body as men. Again, though, depends on the rider´s health, since u have to do other sports beside riding too..

  • Guys are good at riding because of their upper body strength. Girls are good because of their balance and lower body strength.

  • Comment removed

  • well you are mistaken. i have beaten lots of boys. and boys have beaten me. and my friends have beaten boys. even my trainers husband looses a show or pulls a rail. gender doesn't matter in this sport.

  • but a lot more upcoming riders are girls. and there's only more men at upper levels by a small amount.

    and if you don't believe me go look at the USEA championships. only 2 men won out of around 10 divisions.

    but hey i am not being sexist. i am just showing you that men are not better than women.

  • yeah i know we're equal really

    i dont believe men are bettter than women and i like the way male and female can compete against each other in this sport. its one of the only sports where we can. and thats a good thing ;)

  • well you (and other boys) better watch out i am going to kick their butts at horse back. I have won aganist MANY boys sooo,,, yea

  • good for you! do you want a medal?

  • sorry dat was my friend that posted that comment not me.

  • gender has no impact on riding ability or passion for horses. it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman - both can be very connected with their horse and be successful in the equine industry.

  • WELL IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW , why a large amount of them are men its is because THEY ARE IN IT FOR THE MONEY , granted some woman are in it for the money , they have more emotional connections with there horses instead of using them as props like some men do.

  • thats quite untrue.. i know alot of male riders and trainers and there not in it for money and they do have emotional connections with there horses and dont use them as props! there are quite a few male riders and trainers who have a great passion for horses...Monty roberts, pat parelli, yogi breisner, mark smith, and ian olding.

  • yes i agree with you katestar! i'm not in it for the money. that is what racers and jockeys do but not people like monty roberts!!

  • haha u just named parelli who thinks that every horse can be fixed by waving your finger at them and its fixed haha most guy riders/trainers are in it for the money haha im one of them guys arent afraid to get after a horse like most girls are its just a fact not saying we are better but men and women think diffrent

  • ur not sapposed to use muscle to train ur horse. as in ur not sapposed to bea them into submission. u can calmly train them without hurting them.

  • ok. i get where ur coming from. but, some people were trained a specific way. for example, if you are cleaning out your horse's hoof and he/she pulls it away, you can slap the horse's shoulder and say "no." <--- saying not yelling. You shouldn't be abusive when you punish your horse though. Just make sure you're constantly praising for the good, too. Check out my channel to look at my baby I'm training

  • Ha ha. Thats silly. How much money is in the horse industry? You do realize only a select few people really make a lot on horses, right? The horse business is like the car business. And, as a man, I think I take care and respect my horses just as well as any woman could.

  • mmmm i think this sport is for both sexes. Yes, is true, us girls have the gentle touch and maybe have more conection w/ the horse due to our motherly sense, but i've seen PRETTY GOOD guys, like ... really good. (i think a girl looks better riding a horse than a guy)

  • motherly sense? not all women are like that and I used to ride because I liked riding and horses. some stupid "motherly sense" had nothing to do with such.

  • riding is MAINLY a womens sport because (I think) we have a gentler touch then men, no offense

  • In general more females ride than men.

    But if you look in larger competitions they're mostly men.

  • gentler touch? I´ve seen both women and men riding with not such gentle-style, am afraid.. being a gentle rider, has NOTHING do with sex

  • who is that ridding at 1:15

  • idk. i just found the video on a website

  • woooooow! 0:30 looks sooooo easy! luv the paint at 2:04 !!!!!!!

  • well its not you try it

  • CARCASISIM!!!!!!!DUH!

  • oh i think u were trying to say sarcasim spelled with an s

  • I love the paint at 2:04

  • absolutely love the pic at 2:43 really great pics and video to use only couple were repeated great job

  • love the way you incorporated so many areas of riding.  I enjoyed your Vid!

  • great video and... well..u could have dont with out the falls and the horse slamming his head into the ground..but other than that i love it!

  • it just shows that any strong girl can recover from any fall.

  • good job girls are just as good as guy when it comes to riding horses!!its a life style and a sport!

  • omg i LUV the freisian at 0:28 seconds!! I WANT THAT FREISIAN!

  • Riding is the only thing women get credit in. I mean seriously we had to fight to vote, we had to fight to get higher jobs, we had to fight to get paid the same. In riding, we get the credit we deserve. Women are born fighters and not afraid to go after what we want. We'll bust our butts to get what we want. Riding is something women can truly excel in. That's about it.

  • well said!

  • don't forget we also had to fight for are right to even own a horse ;)

  • go1baby1go

    i agree with youu. im a girl but one of the trainers who got me where i am today is a guy. gender shouldnt matter anyways. i would think its just a little bit more comfortable for girls ;)

  • what is this song anyone know?

  • Mrs. independant

  • And, yes, made a little typo. Spelled future wrong.

  • Men dont care Right well you should of put the song from micheal Jackson They don't care about us.lol jk love the video and song!

  • 2:18 wow great riding lol!

    if you watch golf there is rarely girls! let men have their glof lol let us have our horsies!!!! sorry that is a bit sexist and sort of stereo typing. lol soz.

    like the song! you go girl!

  • Dont worry thats not sexist. Boys always get everything and we have to fight for what we want. But thats ok cus i'm a great fighter lol girls rule! haha

  • haha wooh (:

    go us girls and our riding skills!

    this is one of the few sports where girls come out on top.

    We take our pride in itt (:

    GREAT JOB WITH THISS 5/5 :DD hehe

  • us girls and our horses...something not to mess with. And this is one of the many things we're better at than guys. xD

  • I dont think its fair that women and man can compete against each other on horses but women cant play men at other sports

  • hey fionaabc, tell your brothers to come tell ME that riding isn't an official sport!!!!

  • Haha, i doubt it will work, even one of my debating friends couldn't swaty them!

  • good job

    lol

  • WOW! omg 1:36 and 2:14

    yeah its rlly weird cos in pony club there are hardly any guys but most international events are man dominated although i think dressage is mainly a woman sport (no offence to any male dressagers out there) but u hardly ever see a female jockey...

  • Yeah, we pretty much rock. ;D

    Awesome video.

  • i wish there were more men in equestrian sports, wouldnt make me feel like such a pansy when i tell ppl my favourite sports!

  • Wow sounds cool. sorry horses4lov i dont usually point silly things alot but. please dont say whip him cos it makes u sound like a newbie lols. Andd you don get 15.5's lol it only goes up to .3 Sorry but that really bugged me.great video!

  • freaking awesome video!!!

  • i no how hard it is to ride horses when there r problems and one of the horses i ride is so stubern i have to whip him and kick..... and then the other horse i ride spokes at anything but i stay on all the bucks and rears and bolts and thay r 15.5 to 16.3

  • there are only 4 inches in a hand, so do you mean 16.1? or 15 and 1/2, which shoud be denoted as "15.2". It's not the standard decimal system like your thinking.

    Your spellcheck needs to be repaired, I noticed also.

  • i know i didnt relee mean guys can ride better than girls but i think girls are definatley more built for it than guys are

  • Its cuz we are smaller, more graceful, and we understand our horses. We are compassionate and we work with our horse, we feel how they feel and become 1 with the animal while riding. Men are just not capable of that kind of connection with anything.. they are.. well. they are men! :-)

  • Interesting. I'm a man, and I feel a great connection with a horse when I ride. I feel one with it.  I have more trust in a horse I am partner with than in a car that I am in full control of. I don't think that being male or female disqualifies one from feeling and showing compassion. Men tend to dominate--but that doesn't mean we all do. Women tend to show compassion--but some women are horribly cruel. Be careful what you assume.

  • Omg! I love this video! you have the coolest vids!

  • thanks!

  • Sooo cute! i LOVE it!!!!

  • This was a AWESOME video! Great Job!

  • I agree with you, girls are great riders and boys too,... but I still think that girls have more love for their horses,... great video

  • i think some girls have a true unexplainable bond with horses... i like your video!

  • no one said guys can't ride. we all know they are great riders, the girls are expressing the fact that thy are just as good as men not better.

  • Guys have the advantage of being stronger sure, but women have the advantage of being built to ride, our seat bones are wider. We have two young guys at our barn I hope they stick with it we need more guys riding English. So many ride western.

  • wow. at 1:26 and 1:46, thats my trainer :)

  • cool =]

  • girls rock at riding hey guys u no we do ;p

  • Good vid-just love the horse at 3:00 kicking out over the jump,they love it.

  • this is so exciting and well, i don't to know how to explain it, its just realy realy realy good!!!!

  • i sooo agree! sry boys but women dominate in this sport! like im not saying george morris or any of the beerbaums (men) arent EXTRODINARY, but im saying women vs. men its like 200:1 ratio! besides BEEZIES GOT THE OLYMPICS IN THE BAG!!

  • I was just thinking... This has nothing to do with that people might think you hate men or whatever, just a random thought I got.

    How come boys and men (And well also girls and women) despise horse riding so much?

    "It's the horse that is jumping, how can that be work for you"

    "Well it isn't that easy, try your self"

    "I would never mount a horse"

    "Why not?"

    "Just because!"

    I often have this conversation... Why do you think that is?

  • well i think people are intimated by horses we see them has gentle beautiful creatures. and they see them as large scary things! some people don't like horses cuz they seen friends get hurt or killed so they think all horses are like that. its just a lack of being around horses is the problem

  • Are you spying on my brother and me, :)? We have this stupid conversation all the time! I will come back from lessons with really achy muscles, and them go to bed an hour earlier than on weeknights (I have lessons on Fridays), and he'll make fun of me! I told him to try it and he'll literally say "Why would I waste my time on such an easy sport?".

  • ya my brother thought the same thing. he came home from collage for christmas break and i told him before he left he had to ride my horse. he was all i am going to jump and go on the XC and canter and stuff...so he road my horse. i had to admit he was good but only at the walk when he started trotting my horse was pretty fresh ad was going fast and my brother almost fell off so i worked my horse down and my brother got on and did better. but he never said horse back riding was easy ever again :D
