Which do you consider more dangerous?
Do your kids do either?/ Would you let them do either?
What age did they start if they did?
Have they ever been injured?
I'm curious because I started horseback riding as a child, around 8 years old. I've had a few injuries, fractured nose, broken toes, sprained wrists/ankles, back injuries, etc. I kept on till my teen years when I had an accident that made me walk away (chicken, I know)
Thinking ahead, I'd let my daughter ride, but I don't feel comfortable with dirt bikes/ATV's/Motorcycles, all of which her dad rides and has had a major accident and horrible injuries with...
My thinking is that the motorized riding sports can potentially be more dangerous that with horses...Based on personal experiences.
