Maybe your view is a bit coloured by your own experience? In my view riding ponies or horses as a hobby is something that was always financially out of reach for 95% of the population.
It's not as normal hobby any more than racing carts is.
- sersi 3y agoIt depends on the region you were born in. I was born in the country side of normandy where there's plenty of horse breeders. Some primary schools there will bring the kids once a week to do horse riding and seeing horses is somewhat common (plus there was always at least one kid whose parent bred horse in the class who'd invite his classmates to see the horses). Outside of regions with horse culture, it's definitely a rich man's hobby.
- mcv 3y agoMy brother in law has a farm, and his daughters both ride horses. One a bit more fanatically than the other; she's in college now and I think she actually owns her own horse, which is a bit of a problem when you're living in student housing. They're not rich by any means, so I suspect it's a matter of priorities.
- tiptup300 3y agoIf we're talking about comparison of someone lets say making 5 dollars more an hour then minimum wage in pa, would you describe that person as "not rich by any means"?
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoI grew up poor and rode horses, as others have said it's a matter of where you live. If you live in the countryside it's not a big deal, if you live in the middle of a city or suburban area it becomes more expensive.
