The next time anyone makes a comment to you that "the horse does all the
work" and that horseback riding isn't "real" exercise, refer them to this
chart.

http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist.htm  -- go to page 2 on this list
to see the info on horseback riding.  It's interesting to compare with other
forms of exercise.  Also quite interesting is to look at: Farming, baling
hay, cleaning barn!  You know, even grooming a horse will burn a lot of
calories.

Note, heavier riders do burn more calories per hour, in exercise.  There are
*some* benefits to being heavier, after all. <grins>
