Anyone into horse riding?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been horse riding for about a month now and just wondering if anyone else does it.

not since becoming Vegan - used to love doing it.

I used to do it a lot when I was a kid but don't have time to do it now. I'm thinking of going to a summer school with horse riding lessons. It's going to be pretty cool.

I used to ride a lot, but I had a couple of crashing falls and lost my nerve. Don't let me put you off though, I rode for a living so I got to ride some feral horses. They don't put learners on those, just young stupid apprentices with no close family members to complain.

I still love horses from the ground though.

The grounds pretty soft where I ride so I'm not to worried about falling off. Besides I've crashed on my mountain bike and that didn't put me off mountain biking.

You're obviously braver than I am then.

I do miss it, but nowadays I freak out even on old retired plods. I did psych myself up to riding a donkey around a farm last summer. It's a really weird feeling. They have no withers at all, and incredibly narrow shoulders. You constantly feel like you are going to fall out the front door.

I've done scarier things than horse riding I used to go indoor rock climbing that's a hell of a lot scarier but ironically it's actually safer. Donkeys are pretty small even if you did fall off you wouldn't fall very far. I've never ridden a donkey myself would be quite a unique experience I would imagine.

I love horseback riding! I've been doing it since I was little and I've had my own horse. Sadly, he's dead and it's been a long time since I've ridden. I miss it a lot, I hope to start doing it again soon.

I used to have a riding horse back in the 1980's. Have a couple of miniature horses as pets just because I like horses. Only riding I've done in the last couple of decades has been on holiday in New Zealand. Mostly because it was the only time I had any kind of insurance (accidents are covered - even for bloody tourists).

used to ride for the RDA [riding for the disabled association] on and off [according to when places shut down or was moved to another area] from ten till twenty nine and am now a athlete at wirral special olympics club competing in horse riding,hope to make the nationals one day,was recommended for top level equestrianism a few years ago by the RDA.

still miss the horse that used to ride until twenty nine;she was a rebelious mare who woud bite the two RDA staff who walked her on lead rein as they were rough with her but we were great friends,she was a gorgeous skewbald cob called jasmine; http://theresidentialautist.blogspot.co ... ather.html

she was badly abused as a youngster and was eventualy rescued by the RSPCA,millers nook RDA took her in and rehabilitated her but she still cant have a head collar put on her as she associates that with the awful vicious abuse she was put through.

Used to be into horseriding when I was a teen. Took lessons as well back then.
