Women and Horses: A Powerful Synergy
Summary
Horseback riding is a sport where women truly shine, not just because they may be lighter or anatomically suited for the saddle, but due to a deeper connection with horses. After 70 years of riding and observing riders, I've found that women's preeminence in this field stems from their ability to relate to horses. This is not merely about sensitivity and patience but also about fostering a genuine partnership where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Unique Connection
Men often focus on exerting control over a horse, aiming for dominance. They might wish for a horse to respond as mechanically as a car. In contrast, women often seek a harmonious relationship, valuing communication over control. In my 25 years of owning a large riding tour company, about 70% of our clientele have been women, who tend to form a natural rapport with horses more effortlessly than most men.
At our dude ranch, women wranglers, who love working with horses, demonstrate patience, friendliness, and understanding with both horses and guests. Many are well-versed in equitation, holding credentials from institutions like the British Horse Society. Their dedication to the horses' physical and psychological well-being stands out. Though men may have an edge in tasks like shoeing, few situations truly require great physical strength.
Training and Patience
For the past two decades, Linda Tellington-Jones has conducted an annual clinic at our ranch, teaching people to start young horses using non-confrontational techniques. These clinics, attended predominantly by women, have provided our horses with a strong foundation. Preparing these young horses for riding is a gradual, patient process?"something few men seem inclined to embrace. Instead, many prefer rapid, results-driven methods that often fail to build a trusting partnership.
Global Impact
Women also lead many of the international riding tours we offer. From Botswana to Argentina, women excel as leaders in these adventures. However, many Western dude ranches still cling to the traditional cowboy image, focusing on Western experiences over true equestrian pursuits.
Historical and Cultural Perspectives
Historically, patriarchal societies often monopolized riding, viewing horses as symbols of power. But in examining ancient Greek mythology, one finds tales of formidable female riders. The imagery of Amazonian horsewomen suggests that women have long been integral to equestrian culture. In Mongolian society today, women actively participate in riding, both for work and sport.
A Celebrated Partnership
Now, as men no longer dominate horseback riding, women are finding joy and fulfillment in their equestrian pursuits. Similar to working with a herding dog, the bond between horse and rider can be incredibly rewarding. Whether herding cattle or simply enjoying the ride, the partnership between women and horses continues to bring immense joy. Over the years, witnessing this relationship has been a true delight, and I celebrate this remarkable synergy.
