@miniclydsdale I am a cheerleader and a hunter/jumper (hences the username;) and all the girls n my squad say oh riding isn't a sport u just sit o top of a horse and they do all the work, and i say exactly what u said, well cheer isn't in the olympics is it?? Didn't think so?!

@EquetrianStyleJumpin And if it is a cheerleader just ask why is cheerleading not in the olympics. And they stay quiet, say I thought so which means show jumping, dressage, cross country and all the horse related things= Sports... BIG TIME!!!

@Roxy12300 I would have done the same. But went to get a math teacher at my school who likes horsese to tell him off. :)

You have to be just as fit if not more, than anyother athlete out there. You have to know your horse and understand it. You have to have a huge aamount of expirence to simply stay on. When People say it isnt a sport i just want to have them get on my horse. First of all, see if they can control it. Second of all, put it through many paces and Third, I want them to jump. Complete the course, no faults whatsoever and STAY ON!! Phhfff try it.. its harder than you think ! ;) good video!

@EquetrianStyleJumpin I just invite peeps over to have a short ride on my TB mare... usually it only takes about 5 seconds up there for people to get it :) and by then they're in the dirt and all the horse did was follow rider's directions...

i hate it when ppl say its not a sport.
so i say back (espessialy if they do football- half the time they do...) if this isnt a sport, would it be in the olympics? i dont see football in the olympics... so you think long and hard about that, and by the way,YES u can get a scholarship from it (and then a smile)
