Have you ever been horseback riding?

[bigpauly]

[melanieeeB]

Only once, I guess I was something between 12-14 years., it was through snow in the woods and really beautiful but I catched a cold afterwards tho haha

[bigpauly]

Lol well that’s worth it

[melanieeeB]

Yeah it was haha have you tho?

[bigpauly]

I actually never have

[melanieeeB]

Maybe you should try it at least once🤔, it's really fun

[bigpauly]

I definitely would like to!

[PrettyPriya]

He isn't tall enough to get up on the horse. That is why he has never been. 😞

[bigpauly]

@PrettyPriya 🤨 excuse you
😂

[PrettyPriya]

@bigpauly I did just sneeze. Excuse me.

[bigpauly]

@PrettyPriya 😒😒😒

[PrettyPriya]

@bigpauly you rang?

[bigpauly]

@PrettyPriya *kicks your shin

[PrettyPriya]

@melanieeeB Do you see the abuse I have to take? ☹️

[melanieeeB]

Nahh nobody is too short for a horse haha If i can up there as a minion, everyone can

[bigpauly]

@melanieeeB yea you tell her!

[Msputiton]

@melanieeeB wait. You short?

[melanieeeB]

@Msputiton giirl I'm short short hahahaha I'm 153 cm I guess it's something between 5'0 - 5'1 (I'm always confused which one) ... I'm the same height like Ariana Grande lol

[Msputiton]

I never knew.
I assumed you were like 5'7.
Ideky🤔

[melanieeeB]

People always assume that about me lol I also look tall in my pics but yeah no haha

[Msputiton]

Well apparently you got a tall personality

[Fireguy17]

I have, it was fine.
I would like to try horse camping in the mountains, but I would want to ride some before I went so I could walk again.
Horses aren't really my thing, but that is just me.
I do work as an EMT at a local horse park in the summer.
They do dressage.
It's kind of interesting, but it's pretty much the same thing all day long.

[WindAtMyBack]

I've been on an out-of-control horse who was determined to kill me. Not sure if that is considered riding a horse. I spent the entire time watching my life flash before my eyes and desperately trying to find the brakes.

Actually I've been on a horse 3-4 times, but none of them were truly riding it.

[bigpauly]

That sounds really scary

[WindAtMyBack]

I'm exaggerating a little for dramatic effect, but not exaggerating by much. It's bad enough when they are just running. But when they run under low tree branches you'd better be ready to duck.

I was always told that the rider needs to take control. The horse knows if you are an amateur and will take full advantage of it.

So have you been riding?

[bigpauly]

Interesting. I never have been

[WindAtMyBack]

You should go sometime just to experience something new. The times I've gone were because I knew people who had horses. Or you can also pay to take lessons. I have no idea how much it costs.

[SaoirseS]

I have, several times. Now we wait for our British colleagues to point out horseBACK riding in the UK doesn’t exist, it’s horse riding lol.

[bigpauly]

Oh lord, lol

[msmissydc]

Yes, a good childhood friend of mine did it regularly and sometimes I was allowed to go with her. Sometimes it was just seeing or petting the horses but on other occassions I was allowed to ride them too. They were allways led on a leash (wrong word for this with horses probably) as I didn't know how to really ride a horse myself. It allways was great fun fun while I like horses it was nothing I wanted do as my main hobby.

[Graci_e]

Yeah I actually ride horses and work in stables. I broke my hand/wrist falling off a horse 6 months ago and I haven’t ridden since because the injury just isn’t healing. It’s super annoying cause I’ve been riding since I was 6yrs old and I was getting ready for some competitions and stuff.

[Furious_Revelation19]

OMG! I am so sorry! Will it heal anytime soon?

[Graci_e]

@Furious_Revelation19 I have another X-ray and appointment in 6 days so hopefully it’s healed by then. I’m still having pain and instability in my hand and my wrist doesn’t move as well, so there’s a chance it hasn’t healed. My hand therapists checked it over a few weeks ago and there were pains where she was pressing and apparently that means that there’s still healing to do. So if it hasn’t healed, I could need surgery (I originally needed surgery but the surgeon decided not to). But who knows anymore cause it never heals by any appointments.

[Furious_Revelation19]

Oh no! I hope it all works out for you!! I am sure it will! :)
Do you feel comfortable giving some advice, or just chatting?

[Msputiton]

Not riding freely.

Like a pony ride when i was a kid. Where someone holds the reigns and slowly walks the horse around in a circle.

[bigpauly]

I’ll count it

[Msputiton]

Yay!!
Hby?

[bigpauly]

Lol. No I never have

[Msputiton]

Chipmunk?

[bigpauly]

Woww, really Miah?😒

[exitseven]

Awwww cute. Did anyone take your picture?

[Msputiton]

@exitseven i think my momma got pics.

[exitseven]

@msputiton can I see?

[Msputiton]

@exitseven well I gotta check wit my momma see if she actually does.
If so yeah i can let you see

[NathanDavis]

cute AF... lmao

[exitseven]

@msputiton. Awesome. Ibet you were adorable

[SnowedIn]

YES! Had a girlfriend in 6th grade who had horses and took me horseback riding. Then did it in Japan with my then fiancé.

[bigpauly]

Very cool!

[Ill_made_Knight]

When I was a wee kiddo... always wondered though... horseback riding... was riding a different part of the horse a thing? Why did they feel they needed to specify?

[bigpauly]

I find they get mad when you try to ride their head

[Ill_made_Knight]

might amuse any onlookers though... entertainment value you know

[bigpauly]

🤔 true 😂😂

[JPresidente]

Several times. Lots of fun. Funny story, I went with some friends and a buddy of mine had a horse that was a chronic pooper and we had to avoid being behind him most of the day. The poor horse must have had a stomach issue but it made for a humorous ride.

[TrueConfection]

Yes. My parents had horses before I was born. I rode until high school and then started riding regularly again a few years ago. I haven't been to the barn in a year though. I miss it.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I started taking horseback riding lessons when I was a li'l girl.

My lessons took me as far as getting horses to jump obstacles and getting the opportunity to ride a fast race horse on Churchill Downs.

[exitseven]

Yes, my ex girlfriend had a friend that had horses and we went horseback riding. It was not as much fun as they make it look like on Bonanza

[ShadezMcgee]

I took lessons for a few months when I was a kid since my sister was obsessed with them. Got bored of watching and wanted to try for myself. Wasn't bad.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Many times.


I prefer just petting the horses now though.

[wearentokay]

I've been horseback riding frequently since I was about eight, I've always liked it but it's rather exhausting at times, and sometimes you realize that you're completely not in control of a specific horse because they're too much for you, and that's always terrifying.

[Chazmatazz269]

Yeah. When i was young, my best friend’s mother kept, boarded and trained horses. I never went far, just around the corral, and never without supervision.

[Kori1236]

Yup. I’ve always loved it. But after a long trail ride my ass hurts. I would eventually like a horse but i can’t afford one.

[hypojoe]

My girlfriend in high school had 2 horses I always felt like I had been in a car wreck the day after we would go riding

[douride2]

Yes used to ride with a friend for hrs at a time. That was years ago though.

[Sparkie460]

I went horseback riding probably 6 times. Always went to my father's company picnic. They had horseback riding at the park

[Agape93]

Nope. But I got you a toy one you can ride

[bigpauly]

Like the wooden rocking ones?

[Agape93]

Nope small plastic one you get at dollar shops

[bigpauly]

😂 I’m not that small! 😡

[Agape93]

Looks about right size. Unless you want the barbie horse

[bigpauly]

😒 you’re so rude 😂

[Agape93]

But oddly charming 😏

[bigpauly]

Yea somehow

[loveslongnails]

I have been, and while I like horses very much, I don't riding them.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, I have before in British Columbia and California

[joeldalton]

Several times. My aunt has had horses my entire life.

[dustybiker]

I grew up on the backs of horses.

[bigpauly]

Prepared you for a life on bikes

[dustybiker]

[sirderpsalot123]

[Dnice1]

Yes and its fun. Especially going out camping.

[TrillXHippy]
