This is what I found as an intro to a horse roll play that I was thinking of maybe joining, but this certainly made me turn around.
You will also be taught the toughest three sports in history - Dressage, Show Jumping, and Cross-Country.
What the h*ll is this? THOSE are the 3 toughest sports in history? A little too full of yourself, eh? Yes, those are rather difficult, although I have never tried them, because I refused to ride English because of how they treat me for riding Western.
Dressage has no sharp turns, no break-neck speed...Reining has speed, sharp turns, horses that can stop on a dime, and most of the time the rider uses only one hand. ((Guess what! The horn is not made to hold on to, it was made for cowboys to wrap ropes around while ropping cattle. It just comes in handy to hold on to while you're a beginner rider.)).
Show Jumping. Yeah, I know that's dangerous, the horse could refuse, it could jump and trip and break it's neck or leg, blah, blah, blah. EVERY horse sport is dangerous! Have you done barrel racing, cutting, herding, roping, ect? It doesn't matter what the horse is doing, because any horse and trip, fall, refuse something, buck, whatever.
Cross country, I have the same argument as show jumping. Anything can happen, no matter what you're doing.
Toughest sport in history though, in my opinion, would probably be bull riding, or bare-back bronc.
Hey, there are also other sports other then horse riding. Lots of other sports. It's believed that cheerleading is the most dangerous "sport" for girls, but I don't do cheer leading, so I can't confirm that.
I'm sorry if this offended anyone, but I was certainly highly offended by that quote up there. Therefore, I voice my opinion on, and hope whoever made it will MAYBE go back and put 'most dangerous english riding sports' or something.
