Gymnastics seems like it would be a very challanging sport.
Swim is deffidently a sport, one of the hardest in my opinion.
Horseback riding is defidently a sport. The ability to control a 2,000 pound animal is challenging.
When I think of dance, I think that it is a physical art. Not a sport, pleasr understand that this isnt me saying its not difficult. Dance is extremely physically demandinf but when I think of it I think of it as an art.

Your horse isn't doing all the work. Clearly you've on been on trail rides, when you're following a person. Please, do barrel racing, dressage, jumping, cross country, and polo [ and others of course ] and explain how that is easy. I've done both running and basketball, and I believe horseback riding is harder then them both.

horse riding swimming cheering gymnastics is way more a sport than "foot ball" or "base ball" for riding u have to control a HUGE animal that could kill you at any moment it wants and trust the horse with ur LIFE! compared to "foot ball" where all u do is go around chasing a guy in tights with a ball! for swimming you have to learn to be more gracefull IN water than out and u have to never give up compared to "base ball" where you just hit a fuzzy ball with a stick! for Gymmnastics you have to learn to balance on little thin bars above the ground and be FEARLESS compared to socker where u wear knee socks and kick a ball around a field of sweaty people! For Cheering u have to have people BALINCING ON UR HEAD! copared to hockey where u just skate around a ice ring with long stick and a puck!
NOW WHICH ONE SOUNDS MORE LIKE A SPORT?

people have told me swimming is a "hobby". I was ready to explode!! During varsity and USA swimming meets season, I swim maybe 2-2.5 hours a day and bust my butt in the pool. Swimmers, and all these athletes train so hard!! I have more muscle than most of the boys in my school! They say swimming is a wimpy sport. YOU try getting in a doing one of our workouts...........

I understand, people have told me horseback riding is only a hobby. But, I strongly agree that swimming, dance, cheer leading and all that are sports, and I believe they are all harder than what everyone considers sports. [ baseball, football, etc ]

Also, did you ever notice that you "play" a GAME of baseball? You "play" a GAME of soccer or you "play" a GAME of football, but you don't PLAY a GAME of horseback riding?

Okay, I know your not supposed to comment unless you disagree, but I have something to say.

Horseback riding IS a sport.
There are no breaks or timeouts.
No one sits out on the bench.
We don't postpone because of weather or cry about tiny injuries.
I can't talk to my teammate- we have to communicate without words.'
Maybe it's just me, but it sure is hard to...
swap leads
find the perfect distance
control an animal 10 times your size with a mind of it's own
gallop towards a jump on an unpredictable animal and jump it
If you still think it's not that hard...
PROVE IT.
I DARE you to get on my horse and do what I do.
We are dedicated and gutsy. When we fall, we don't "sit out on the bench". We brush ourselves off and get right back on and do it until it's right.
So before you judge it, try it.

Dance is definetly a sport. Its harder than football or Soccer or Lacrosse or pretty much any other sport! Dancers defy the laws of physics, finish practise with bloody toes and blisters, practice 24/7, be stronger than a footy player. In dance, a single shift of your weight can mean a broken leg, ankle, arm, wrist, evn neck! People who dsay dance isn'yt a sport have obviously never tried balancing oin just their toes in hard shoes and then trying to move in them. Dance competitions are probably more competitive then any other comp. People try and sabotage each other and can make some very mean comments. Dancing takes years of dedication and pain! IT IS DEFINETLY A SPORT!!

and 2halves1whole- every sport involves two teams. two gymnastics teams go up against each other, two riders are up against each other, in competition we are always against each other.

x3sammii- no, there's no law that says whats a sport and whats not.

thank you too all of the girls defending their sport. and to everyone who's saying oh cheer/riding/dance/whatever isn't a sport, than seriously, you can fck off. you're just being plain rude. personally, i am an extremely competitive rider. riding is an ART. ever been to a show? and CHEER and GYMNASTICS and DANCE? how can you even think thats not a sport? girls push themselves in ways that actually defy the laws of physics. if you don't believe me, then i want you to google maddie gardner and watch a few clips. and SWIMMING??? that's completely a sport. all of these sports are just the same as soccer, lacrosse, softball, etc. you guys who say this or that isn't a sport are just so close-minded to your own little sport bubble. there are more people, and more sports, in the world than just yourself.
