Well, I'd like to disagree in quantity not in quality with that statement.
Just my humble opinion, but the "sport" is most certainly for the rider.
We humans chose to invent this thing called endurance riding/racing, and
to ask our horses to perform at high levels for us when they might prefer
to be lazing around in pasture. The horse does by far most of the
work--and may even enjoy it--but it is still a team effort. I haven't
heard of any horses getting completions in races without their riders.
(If anyone knows how to get one to do that, let me know and I'll start
training Charlie right now! :-) ) Biggest credit goes to the horse,
team leader/manager credit goes to the rider. And lots of credit to the
support teams!
