Are there more gay men riding horses?

[qwertyuiop]

I know 6 men who ride, and only 1 is gay. 1 who isn't get occasionally gets chatted up by men at dressage comps and some get very miffed when they find out he doesn't bat for their team!

My Boyfriend is gay......... he does dressage
I showjump........... but I'm not gay!!

If I was to go with the stereotype I'd say mainly gay.

But in RL (aside from HHO

) I've never met a gay man who rides. Only straight.

There are 2 gay guys in my hunt and there are some that I would question which way they go.
I know of a few gay eventers, sjers and dressage riders.

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

I only know of gay men who ride horses, have met one straight male rider

 

[TelH]

I know a few gay men who ride. But I feel like the only gay woman in the village cos I don't know any others who ride apart fom myself.

My brother and his boyfriend- clearly both gay LOL- ride- but strictly hunting, Xc, and team chasing. Big boys stuff!

Of the two pro dressage male riders I know, they are both gay- unless, as one says 'She's VERY rich.....'

 

[nicnag]

There are hundreds of men ride in my area but it's seasonal for most and applies only to the common ridings. Of all the male members in my riding club only one is gay AFAIK

All Dressage riders are gay, and annoyingly good looking.
All Showjumpers are straight, and annoyingly butt ugly.

I suppose Eventers are gay on Thursdays and Fridays, Straight on Sundays, and just plain preoccupied on Saturdays.

hehe...this post is highly entertaining!!

I keep my horse at a fairly big competition yard, we have one gay (male) groom...but all the other men on the yard are straight, this includes the owners of the yard and other livery owners.

TelH your not the only gay women in the village!! I'm with you!

In my experience, so true!!

I know a few men that ride & 2 are gay & together, shame as they're blummin' good looking!!!!

 

[diggerbez]

this might sound terribly stereotypical but all the good male riders i know are gay and all the crap ones are straight....but definitely think that show jumping is for straight men only wheras dressage and eventing is more the other way....

 

[gekko]

Depends on the discipline...

Dressage...tends to gay maybe 80%?
Showwing...95% gay probably more.
Jumping...50/50
Eventing....30% gay
Hunting...80% straight
Western sports 98% straight..maybe higher!...and any that are not are in the closet!
Jockeys....95% straight...and generally oversexed little perverts with severe small man syndrome! LOL

LMFAO!!!!

I'd agree with that thinking back to one or two jockeys I knew

 

[vickyhd]

This is the funniest thread I've read for ages!

I know a couple of gay men involved in showing.....

Please can you tell us why dressage holds more appeal then showjumping (is it to do with the tailcoats?!)

 

[Stephen_Price]

I am gay and do dressage but am am being made to have a jump lesson next week at about 5 ft fences. Not looking forward to it........
