According to the  urban dictionary(I looked up equestrian and this popped up.. Thank you copy and paste!)


person who works very  hard with horses and at the sport of riding horses. A good   equestrian is usually  a very hardworking person who is completely commited  to the sport of riding and the animals(horses/ponies) that he or she rides. Often stereotyped as being snobby and rich, the equestrian is usually overlooked as a person who partakes in sports/ physical activity. Equestrians need to have the concentration and ability to judge distance like a golfer, strength and stamina of a hockey player, artistic flow and ability to make a hard  thing look easy and beauiful like a gymnest, and and also know where everyone around them is at all times ALL WHILE controlling a 1000lb or more animal with your hands, back , neck, shoulders, thighs, calves, legs, heels, stomach, or basically every bone /muscle in your body with the help of a 5  inch piece of metal. "Riders use their entire bodies to tell their horse what they want them to do; the way they sit, move  their hands, the pressure of their legs...dozens of signals pass between horse and rider, at every moment"-Horse Power: The Road To Maclay. To be an equestrian you have to know the sport in and out and be able to work  as a team with your animal. A talented equestrian knows her horse as well as she knows her best friend if not better.

Barrel racing:

The greatest sport that was ever created. Predominantly for females , because males  are sissies.
