Has anyone tried game on a horseback riding course? Riding is HUGE in Finland as there are almost as many riders than hockey players in Finland. 93 % of all Finnish riders are women and mostly are over 18. This is quite interesting as handling and riding horses used to be all male "sport" up to the 1960s. I used to live in one of the largest cities in Finland and there was four stables within a walking distance from my house. I am now living near downtown Helsinki but there is one stable within 15 minutes of walking.

The price for an hour of riding instructions is set at around 20 € but there are many free events near me all around year where these people gather. You can quite easily see what kind of people go to the classes by hanging around a stable during weekends.

I ride in the states 1-3 times a week for pleasure. More than 90% of riders are women at my stables. More than 75% of those are under 12 it seems.

The few who are between 18 and 30 and are female are usually in great shape and seem to have a better grasp of flirtation. They're also wealthier.

Never tried picking them up, my riding is more meditation than sport.

in entertainment, it seems like a woman's hobby or an elite hobby in America.

unless you ride for work or the rodeo, its not really common.
But those rodeo boys are pretty bad ass.


i keep with my theory though..women that like/ride horses are crazy.
I've never met a "normal" girl that rides horses or has a large interest in them.
when i think little girl and pony.i think spoiled, entitled. bitchy.

when i think woman and horses,i think crazy, irrational. freak.
obviously loves to have all that power between her legs though

Europe seems different with the attitudes towards men riding than USA.
