NONE of these are true for me. Sounds to me like you guys are afraid of strong independent women. Always loved horses. Now kids are riding and I started lessons too. Thank goodness hubby loves being at stable with us. Once upon a time, horseriding was a Male sport. Remember the cavalry? Look up Fort Riley. Check out the videos of what real men used to do on horseback!
Horse ladies, get your men to take riding lessons and get out and do real manly things like fox hunting! Oh, and you, too should get out of the ring and into the wide world. There are still some males who ride…but they are probably going cross country.
She takes what she wants without bothering you. Going out and getting drunk, sitting in a bar having useless conversations is a vaste of time. So, if you need a girl to play the way you like, pick one at the bar or a night club. If she can handle the bills without you, oh Knight in Shining Armor, she has the paycheck to play the game.
So go snuggle with your bank account. Oh wait you want to go to a football, baseball game? Be a player not someone sitting on the sidelines. Your simply not tough enough. When you started riding at 10 I told you that once you could maneuver a couple thousand lb between your legs you could handle anything. Sign in.

Blah, blah, blah…. Whatever the number of riders in horse sports, both the FEI and the national federations of most of the powerful equestrian countries are run by men.
The president, both vice presidents, and 10 of the other 14 members of the FEI Board—including chairs of the dressage, eventing and jumping committees—are men. Of 22 national federations with significant dressage participation including those of the 14 teams qualified for Tokyo, only Austria, Canada and Russia are headed by women.
Women have participated in Olympic equestrian sport going back to and in teams were mixed for the first time. Since then, women have won every individual gold except when Reiner Klimke on Ahlerich took the title in , the same year that an all-male squad, German, was the last to win team gold.
At the World Equestrian Games, with starting lineups substantially larger than at the Olympics, of the 77 rider and horse combinations in dressage 46 were women and 31 men. All three individual medalists were women.
Men way outnumbered women in jumping with 97 males to 27 females. But they have always been underrepresented in Olympic showjumping the equestrian hurdles or high jump program, which accepted women in the Olympics. Relatively low representation of women in elite levels of equestrian sport may reflect team selectors favouring male riders. Several women had taken a hiatus from riding after they had children.
While some had become risk-averse as mothers, others were just too busy raising a family and caring for horses that their husband continued to compete. This scenario is by no means unique to equestrian sport. But equestrian is unique in its gender integration. So, is it time we looked beyond the feelgood glow of this and considered how it might be a barrier to equal opportunity for participation in all events, and at all levels, by men and women?
Well, the Olympic equestrian program would have equal numbers of male and female competitors or in the cases of countries with few riders, equal opportunity for men and women to secure a place in the Olympic program. And female show jumpers might be more likely to negotiate family responsibilities to maintain their equestrian involvement if they perceived more opportunity for success.
