Hey all,
Haven't been here in quite some time, but I would like to run something by the community and see what folk think.
Firstly, with no disrespect to people of differing gender preference, I am male and I am not gay, but I do ride.
Yet I've seemingly heard nothing but "hoblokes who ride are generally considered to be gay.
Well, something happened that enabled me to develop as theory as to why mainly NON-horsey people believe the above to be true.
As a bloke in a mainly female barn, if one fancies a chat or a mate, it's going to be a lady. SO, I get palsy with a girl and then, as sure as night follows day, next time along comes hubby or the man.
The barn/yard whatever is generally her "potting shed", the last thing she wants is hubby or the man knocking around her yard...but he's a wee bit jealous so she say's "that chappie (who looks so lurvely on horseback) is gay" and verily does hubby return home feeling a little better about his not-so-manly fear of horses and spreads the myth.
So, what do you think ladies and gents?
Have I stumbled across something or ought I just go back to watching Carl Hester's dressage...?
Thanks for reading, wish it were more useful or informative
