Honestly I really don't keep track of the Olympics. When the World Equestrian Games are on, however, I cannot take my eyes off the TV

They have horse stuff at the summer Olympics and even had some years ago at the winter games.

Maybe it will become an Olympic sport again.

I would try out for the Olympics if that happened. I can't ski worth a damn but I can drive a horse like no one's business

They had many crazy sports like in 1900 for the Olympics in Paris they had live pigeons shooting events.
You people in the US didn't like it so you invented clay pigeon instead.

Competitors in these events had to kill as many live pigeons as possible. Birds were released one at a time from 'traps' in front of the shooters; winners were determined by whoever shot the most birds out of the sky. A shooter was eliminated once they missed two birds. Nearly 300 birds were killed. A prize purse of up to 20,000 Francs was awarded to the winners, though the top four finishers agreed to split the winnings.[SUP][1][/SUP] This was the first and only time in Olympic history when animals were killed on purpose. Animal rights campaigns were mounted to stop live shooting; in 1902 bans came into force in the United States leading to the introduction of clay pigeons.[SUP][2][/SUP]

You might be dragged by the horse like no one's business during the entire race then.

I think they should bring back old sports or invent new ones.
Having always the same old boring ones is well, boring.

They could have shooting from a horse on ice.

If the horse had some really good borium shoes on it might be ok

 

[RedneckReject]

I don't know if it was the painkillers I took or the chocolate I ate but I feel SO much better now

People still do it but it's a bit different since they have someone on the horse.

That looks awesome! I have done that on sleds before but never skis. At least with a sled I'm sitting on my butt....which is where I would most likely end up if I were trying to ski

 

[Sylvain]

Have you tried shooting while riding?

 

[RedneckReject]

Have you tried shooting while riding?

No but I would love to

 

[Sylvain]

No but I would love to

I bet it's not easy as it looks in movies.
Especially if you're trying to shoot someone who's also moving fast on another horse.

 

[Sylvain]

You could go on horseback in bad part of town and wait for someone to rob you.
