not too many males are interested in the equestrian arts, its more or less considered a feminine sport except for the cowboys and rodeo part

Theres nothing wrong with guys riding! And trust me theres nothing girly about waking up at 5 in the mourning to clean stalls, feed horses, groom, tack and then ride a green horse over fence in the hot sun! You really do have to be tough and willing to get dirty, however not a lot of men see that and find the sport girly!

It's not a female sport. There are several male Olympic riders in several disciplines. Frank Madden, George Morris, Bruce Davidson, Buck Davidson, David O'Connor, Frank Chapot, Jeff Cook, Rodrigo Pessoa, Chris Kappler, Kevin Babington, Jim Wofford, Ken Berkley...that's just off the top of my head. And it's not even counting Western riding.

There is nothing wrong with men riding horses. If you want to ride, then go. Don't worry about what people think.
I myself find that there is nothing more relaxing than firing up a pipe or cigar and taking a long trail ride on one of my horses.

My daughter does horse riding and there are quite a few boys and men at her stables. Girls might be attracted to it because of the cute ponies. But it's a tough sport.

I have had and ridden race horses all my life and it is a sport that is still dominated by the males. outside racing i have ridden and competed with a mix of female and males, there is nothing wrong or feminine abuot a man on a horse and just think about the toned arms and legs your going to get, the women and the men will be jealous.lol

some of my best students are men! and there is something damn sexy about a man who rides well. for gods sake don't wear jods though - jeans and full chaps please boys!
Get out there and find a good riding school and I'll bet you will be surprised how many men ride.
Look at the likes of Tim Stockdale for inspiration and for years now alot of competitive equestrian sports have been dominated by men.
Have fun, it's the ultimate partnership when you and your horse totaly trust each other.
Good luck!

having worked in the horse industry for 9 years i can see how it looks like a female only area but there are lots more men riding than you think you just need to find the right establishment for yourself.

It's not! my boyfriend wants to learn to ride but he can't at the moment, and both my riding teacher's sons ride and compete. the person who is buying my friend's horse is male too! if you are worried about being discriminated against because you are male, book some private lessons until you are confident enough to show people you ride and you're proud!

Good for you! At my farm, it is mostly girls, but there are a couple of lads too. There is nothing better than horse riding and it is ten times harder to master than football, so you stick with it! And besides, there is nothing like the sight of a man in breeches and boots to make a girl go weak at the knees!!!!
