So what do you guys think of male riders, hot or not?

When I go to the local shows around me, there are maybe 2 male riders out 150 riders all together, so it is hard to find attractive ones.
In general, I like male riders, and would date one, if we clicked. We would have horses in common. Although there is a down side. If he is competitive, he may act competitive, as most males do. Riding with him may not be as enjoyable because of that.
But, there are different people out there, so this wont be the case with everyone!

same here


not husband but boyfriend of 3 years rides. My x took lessons from me way back when and still does but now he has to pay me and my first ever boyfriend liked horses, never rode a day in his life but wanted some land and horses when he grew up. Sadly he's a druggy and supports his life style by running a garage band recording studio so that's a bit of a switch to what he originally wanted...hmmm.
I guess I've always just kinda picked guy's who are interested in horses or will at least jump on once in a while to humor me. :D

So not necessarily riding but having a general interest in horses or a willingness to come to the barn and spend time once in a while is a plus and a turn on.

In my area of the world, it's extremely hard to find attractive guy riders. The good ones are gay (and all seem to ride English), or else you get that big, blustery, cocky wannabe-cowboy type that is just so...no.

Lol. I prefer the heavy horse guys :wink: They're a lot less @ssholian.

Hot! Where I live, it is mostly western riding and going to bigger shows, like state fair, you find some cute cowboys. Definatly more girls riding than boys though. It's funny, my friends dad said that if boys were looking for a place to meet girls that they should ride in horse shows :lol:

Hahahaha hevonen I remember when my dad said that! I think that he said that at that june O.W. show last year! It is true though, when you go to big western shows you see some cute cowboys :wink:

Ha, I think it's a total turn off if I am dating a guy and take him riding and he can't ride at all. So when I dumped my last fiance that was on my check off list. Couldn't date a guy that couldn't at least half *** ride. So my husband that I have now does ride. It gets kinda tough cause we don't always see eye to eye, but he is slowly starting to give in to my ways. He is not really the cowboy type. He was raised city with his parents, but he spent most of his time with his grandpa and his grandpa was a cattle farmer. His grandpa wasn't crazy about the horses, but his family down in AK were all ropers. So that was my husband's passion, roping. He would go for the summers to AK and spend the summer roping and breaking horses with his uncle (grandma's brother). The fact that he is kinda into the horses makes it easier to be horse crazy!

If men were smart, horseback riding would be the sport of choice. Think about it: Spending long hours, surrounded by the female riders......But god forbid it! -eyeroll-

Total turn on for me. Most of the male riders at my barn are the sons, grandsons, or nephews of a big reining trainer around here. I'm keeping them all tied down because if they leave, the guy horses have nowhere to go when he dies....I know that's terrible, but he isn't doing too well right now :*(

As someone whose dated a fellow rider? It looses its charm real fast. We're both about the same level rider, but in two different disciplines. Him dressage, myself show jumping. Given the different training, ideas etc. it makes things a little tense. He'd criticize my horses for not keeping their heads perfectley on the vertical over a big jump course, and I would admittedly scoff at his little prancey-prancers from time to time lol.

I like a good cowboy, but they're better off as eyecandy ;]

Most of the ones in my area are showjumpers - spoiled ones to boot, rolling in daddy's pocket. It's rare to find anyone who does dressage or even regards dressage as important. Trying to find a guy? Not a chance.
The male riders that I actually like are either way-too-old cowboys or gay. Oi!

Me and my sister are hoping to do a working student position in Sweden a few years down the road. If I could bag me a hot, blonde and tall, scandinavian metalhead that does dressage, I'm set.


...Metalheads doing dressage... *snort*

Doesn't matter either way to me. I'm not a big fan of most male riders, as they either seem to be wanna-be cowboys or rednecks in the western world, and most of the english male riders are either gay or trust-fund babies rolling around in Mommy and Daddy's money.

Of course, there are exceptions, and I'm not a huge fan of most riders (or people in general). :P

If I go on Yahoo answers, Horse Section for an hour, I feel a hatred to all riders, male, female, western or english! Haha.
