Has anybody here actually ridden a Horse and/or Pony before?

[dead account 2,710]

Yes, a pony when I was a kid.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Yep, quite a few times. The fastest I've gone was a medium paced trot. I've always wanted to gallop a horse.

I'm a farm boy from a farming city which also has lots of stables and breeders and charrería is a common "sport" around here as well.

So yeah, I have but never without an expert xD

Call me a chicken, but I get a bit nervous on horse. My father broke his back when he was young while riding a mare and his tale got me paranoid

I think I've ridden a pony when I was really little, and I think I've also ridden a horse before but I'm not sure.

Sometime in middle School. That was with a horse ride you pay to go on

My grandma had a horse and I rode him when I was younger. Unfortunately she sold him because he was costly. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Maybe when I was really little, but not any time that I can remember.

[Clawdeen 12,189]

Nah. I never had much interest in that

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

I used to when I was seven as an after-school thing. I liked it well enough but none of the helmets ever fit my massive head. I felt like my brain was getting cut off!

Present............... They stink though...

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

Nope. I don't think I've ridden one before, but I'd love to. 

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

I tried learning how to ride one but lost interest

We had 7 or so at one time, for our ranch for rounding up cattle, and over time two were sold, the 5 slowly passed on, and one we gave back to the people we bought it from. ATVs replaced them for the most part...also its kinda a "you only have one true horse that matches you perfectly in your life".

But when I was younger, I rode a shetland, a mule, and a thoroughbred, all ours, but mostly bareback and not saddled. They didn't care and neither did I.

I also rode in a stagecoach in Jamestown ND, its surprisingly smooth, it just feels like you are on a boat as it rocks back and forth. I think that's a thing still, but may not be for long as they want to turn the "heritage village" or whatever it's called into an...amusement park.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I'm a long haired country boy so of course I have.

[Pearly Marshmallow 399]

Never. Besides, I don't think I've ever had any type of contact with a horse/pony in my life. 

[ZiggWheelsManning 10,021]

Rode a horse few times as a kid, with an expert guiding it.  

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

It hurts the balls....

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

I've ridden donkeys a couple of times but never a horse/pony.

My mum took me horse riding when I was 10, it was nothing faster than a trot, was quite fun but the whole ride was nearly 5 hours long,  i remember getting off and being barely able to walk 😂
