Ballet? My son did that for years and it was a good time for him.

I think horseback riding hurts boys.

Seriously? Have your read about how horses have been used throughout history? The women rode side saddle because it was deemed unlady like for them to ride like a man did. Ranchers throughout the US still use horses to round up cattle and get around their land and a lot of them are male.

But don’t those ranchers use a special saddle (tipping back a bit) so it doesn’t hurt them? I don’t think it’s the same saddle that people use in horseback riding for sport.
