Despite the fact that horseback riding is a popular sport, there is little information available on horseback riding as a physical activity. Texas A&M University recently found that metabolic output and heart rate responses were greater for riders during the long trot portion of a walk-trot-canter ride and during cutting rides. When the walk-trot-canter ride was evaluated by gait, metabolic output increased as gait speed increased. Riders engaged in cutting and reining experienced more intense exercise in short durations, while walk-trot-canter riders has a greater overall total energy expenditure due to the duration of the activity. Interestingly, all three riding activities were similar in peak metabolic output compared to activities like jogging, and playing soccer and rugby. This study highlights the importance of horseback riding as a viable tool to support health through physical activity, particularly if riding at more intense gaits.
