As someone who's done a lot of sailing, it's a very physical sport although this is secondary to skill and experience. On yachts there are a lot of heavy winches and all that, on dinghys it's a constant physical battle in a heavy breeze as you constantly use your weight to steer the boat through waves, etc.

As previously quoted you (seem) to accept that my argument is correct EXCEPT in the field of equestrianism.....
Your "concrete" example is not an example of man vs woman in a direct contest.
In all branches of equestrian sport/contests the physical prowess of the horse is a huge factor that far outweighs the gender of the rider.
I thought you might come up with something like Freediving where the world record for depth is held (or was until recently) by a woman....
Or possibly angling where several records are held by women....
Or even something like round the world yacht racing.....
but you still persist with maintaining that Horse riding in some way meets the criteria I have explained several times....
Do you really think that the human "effort" of horseriding is anything approaching that of the horse?
There are other sport(s) examples but I thought I'd stick to an area where I have some experience and I know what I'm talking about.

You made an assertion which was incorrect and however much you wriggle and moan I've provided a concrete example of why that was incorrect
I dunno where MF found the family snap.
