The Calories Burned Horseback Riding calculator computes the calories burned horseback riding based on the activity level, weight of person and the duration of time horseback riding.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (W) Weight of Person
  • (TRW) Time Riding at a Walk
  • (TRT) Time Riding at a Trot
  • (TRG) Time Riding at a Canter
  • (TG) Time Spent Grooming
  • (TT) Time Spent Tacking

Calories Burned Horseback Riding (kCal): The calculator returns the approximate calories (kcal) burned during horseback riding. 

The Math / Science

According to a report from Valdosta University, the following calories per hour are associated with horseback riding. These are approximate numbers based on the person's weight, and there are numerous other factors that can change the total calories burned.
