Reply from Lizzy, Age 14 - 06/12/06 - IP#: 70.237.215.xxx no, riding horses isn't really a workout because you're not doing the work, the horse is. if you walk with your horse that can be excercise but siting on it is not.
Reply from Courtney, Age 16 - 06/12/06 - IP#: 75.2.142.xxx Yes, riding horses IS considered exercsising! I believe english is a bit more of a workout than western, but either way you are still burning calories. Especially by doing thisngs like trotting and posting without your stirrups, cantering, jumping(if riding english), and riding bare back

Reply from Candy, Age 16 - 06/12/06 - IP#: 65.33.135.xxx Lizzy, have you ever riden a horse on a professional level? It takes muscles and try posting without the stirrups . . and riding bear back. I think its quite a workout. There really is alot to riding horses, take it from me.
