So you think you got riding figure out?

This is for all the people out there who probably have never been near a horse in their entire lives but still feel they have the required knowledge to tell me that it isnt a sport, that it is girly and that only princess attitude little girls ride. I am sick and tired of it. first of all proper horsemanship involves getting extremely dirty, sweaty and smelly. second of all horses are a living creature therefore dangerous the same way a dog can bite and a cat can scratch a horse can kick, take off and trample regardless of whether you want it to happen or not. second of all riding is not a matter of sitting there and looking pretty, you have to work with the horse and perform a number of commands to guide the horse. you have to be quick and agile to respond to your horse in order to avoid accidents. the phrase ''a good rider falls off at least 7 times' is not there for show. it is because you do fall off, you do hurt yourself as the saying 'been there jumped that got the bruises to prove it' (printed on almost every horsey item ive seen) people get injured and some even die. i know people who have had broken arms and legs, even someone with a broken jaw. I myself have a broken nose, riped a muscle in my leg and a damaged back from being trampled on after a fall and being throw off into a gate (not the jump) If there are anymore question or doubt that horse riding is a dangerous sport and not for princess girly girls please post it in a comment and i will add it to this already long description.

Thank you! I'm so sick of my stepsister and brother saying that horseback riding isn't a sport because "it's all just sitting, steering, and kicking. It's easy." They, and other people like that, have NO idea what it's like to ride a horse and the work and strength that comes with it. Thank you so much for this video. It's time people appreciate this sport for what it is. :)

Sure thang ^^ I dont know if people ever will see horse riding for what it truly is but if they worked just 2 weeks in a yard not even riding they would sure as anything be in for a shock. at least I hope so ><

[buffywolf]

Lol I know too, I used to work in a race horse stud and I talked to some ex-jockeys at the sales, and even more than most of the time we have to keep going, you dont see that in most other sports.
