Okay so like my name says I'm gonna start lessons soon...
My friend thinks video gaming is a sport but horse riding and field hockey is not (field hockey is one of the sports I play). He thinks these should not be around. GRRR, I think not!!!

You are so so right! I really don't get why people say that riding isn't a sport because it is! There are so many things that you have to remember on the back of a horse. The dressage test, keep your heels down, sit up, and so much more.

Horse riding isn't a sport? by: Anonymous
I'm sure most equestrians and horse lovers have heard people say horse riding isn't a sport. Next time someone tells you that show this post to them.
First of all, if you go onto google and look up Equestrianism what comes up? This is what comes up.
E-ques-tri-an-ism: the skill or sport of horse riding. As an Olympic sport it is divided into three disciplines: show jumping, dressage, and the three-day event (combining show jumping, dressage, and cross-country riding).
Next, look up the basic definition of sport. Want to know what comes up?
Sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Then, if you search top ten most dangerous SPORTS look what's first on the list.
Now, look up top ten hardest sports. Lookie here, 7th spot.
1. Gymnastics 2. Swimming 3. Figure Skating 4. Water Polo 5. Bull Riding 6. Competition Cheerleading 7. Horseback Riding 8. Hockey
Everything you look up on the internet says riding is a sport.
