horse riding isn’t the most expensive sport, Formula 1 or F1 for short is what seems to be the most expensive sport. Getting a F1 car is already $12 to $20 million. Additionally vehicle, office and utility payments are an additional $6 million. Plus another additional cost of $4.5 million for miscellaneous expenses. Also about $1 million for insurance. In total running the race totals up to around $575 million. The overall expense for the whole thing is close to $1 billion dollars.
⚠️THIS IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM OF “bragging” AS I CAN’T EVEN COMPETE IN F1 BUT THE MISCONCEPTION IS THAT HORSE RIDING IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SPORTS, AND YES IT IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE BUT NOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE AS I MENTIONED F1 RACING IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE SPORT IN THE WORLD AS OF NOW. ⚠️

You know it doesnt matter that what sport is more expensive. Cause someones sport can cost 10-40$ and they are so happy to have it and the sport makes it happy. Cause always the money doesnt give you everything.😊

We’re not saying other sports is not expensive cause a lot of sports are really expensive, but equestrian is 2nd most expensive. The 1st being a festival of sports that involves lots of expensive vehicles (like helicopters, expensive cars, etc.)

[thunderwormgacha]

Competitions jumping etc but my family doesn’t have enough money for any of that.

To all those people saying oh but Dance is expensive this sport is expensive that sport is expensive. IN MY OPINION! Horse riding is by far the most expensive sport, and yes ok some other sports like dance is expensive but when your riding at a professional level the money you loose is extortionate! We don’t just spend a lot but also put our lives on the line.
The reason top riders have sponsors! I really didn’t mean to brag and I’m sorry if I offended anyone in anyway by looking like I’m trying to show off how much money I have! I am really not! 😊

Please let me know if I have missed anything!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! No hate

Plus equestrian (or horseriding) is the second most expensive sport look it up.

[emmawaterman]

People keep saying hockey you get hurt alot in same with....
Soccer
Volleyball
Gymnastics
Tennis
Swimming
Basketball
Track
Skiing
Snow boarding
Tumbling
Ballet
Etc and especially horse back riding ima have you sit on a horse thats bucking a rearing qnd throwing you off and see if that hurts too(btw i do soccer, horse and volleyball)

Edit... I am not trying to be rude im sure hockey hurts alot too

[ILovehorses]

True tho you have to buy the equipment and the materials to brush them and get the tack

[EldrxFlwr]

Okay here's my take, just saying something is the most expensive is subjective. It depends on how much money you have as an individual to spend on your sport.

Yeah, being equestrian is expensive, but if you have enough money it can be cheap. However, if youre a competitive cyclist, dancer, or even hockey player who doesn't have the money, then even that can be expensive.

Generally speaking, depending on how much money you have, any sport can either be expensive or cheap.

[Officialbrxchtje]

I agree that Horse riding is one of the most expensive sports but let me break down some ballet/dance prices

Clothes: 100$-700$
Shoes : 50$ - 300$ (every month or so)
Doctor intakes : 50$-100$ (depends on ur doctor)
Lessons : 15$-200$ per lesson ( Yes it’s true some lessons cost that much)

*For people that compete*
Extra lessons:15$-200$
Comp entering fee : 50$-400$
Costume:10$-300$

The average total for people who don’t compete (per year)
Comes out to about 2, 000$

And for people who do compete

Around 3, 000 per year

*DISCLAIMER* I did not count transport and hospital visits costs cause those can depend on how u get there and how good ur trained.

[Mollytheequestrian]

I was about to say us equestrians must be the expensive until I watched the whole thing and realised i was right xxxx

[LittleMissy]

F1 racing's the most expensive sport but I do agree riding is definitely really expensive

[LllyLovsBubblSkinCar]

Dance is up there too because of the money and competitions



Dance lessons:50-90 x6
Bag:30-100
Comp bag:500-900
Makeup:70
Hotel:250-500
Hair products:90-250
Costumes:600-2k
Hair stylist:400-600
Comp Jacket:400-700
Dance shoes:40-100 (point shoes are about 700-900)
Actual competition:70-210
So yea dance is not cheap

[Dragon-pupetss]

I done some research and here is the truest I can find


1.formula 1 cost 150M$-400M$

2.horse riding can cost around 26k-30k a year

So if you ask me its formula 1

[Mushroom_lover]

For dance you need to pay at $150 a week for lessons plus a bag for everything cost at least $25 you need point shoes which are $150 EACH and you need a new pair every week or so plus for the recital you need to pay a $50 fee and for the costume it cost $800 or so and you were it once in total that $2, 375 for the last week of dance before the recital now multiply that my 18 weeks dance is the most expensive

[Urbpdhr]

Facts I go to private lessons with my horse and the lessons costs around 50€

[Ziggy_lilli]

I totally agree but why do people brag about being expensive like it not a good thing

[feathers_lovesTherians]

we are not the most expensive. we are actually second!
