Is horse back riding exercise?

(rodeo) I was wondering if that does anything for you, weight loss wise. And if it does, what areas does it help?:)

If you are really working it will help glutes and hams. -------------- My Catahoula did it. I saw a book titled \"Sex for Dummies\" and wondered why anyone would teach dumb people how to reproduce?

But if you have a lot of riding to do and you are breaking colts like I am you are very tired at the end of the day. It makes your legs really strong especialy riding bareback
