Is it just me, or are equestrians the most hated on athletes ever.
I get picked on at school all the time for riding because "It`s not a sport"
Ya sure. Riding a 1200Ib animal that can kill you in a split second is "easy"
The "horseback riding is not a sport" will always be a never ending battle. My response is always that if they have never tried it under a lesson setting, not just a trail ride-then they are not allowed to make any kind of comment about it.
As for you being picked on, I've never heard of or seen anyone ever get picked on because they were a rider. I think you should look into talking to whomever is doing this to you, so the issue stops.
Trust me, you are NOT alone! I have been through that before. Some people are like "All you do is sit there.". I mean seriously?!? That's not all that we do! I mean I know a lot of people who think riding is cool and want to do it but I know some people think otherwise.
