Have You Ever Ridden A Horse, Was it Easy For You to Ride??

Hi again, artistry. As I tell people when asked this question face-to-face, I practically grew up on a horse. I started riding at six and received a pony for my ninth birthday. I was told I was a natural. At seven I began to compete in western competitions in races such as barrel races, pole bending, flag racing, and sometimes even Texas Keyhole and other western games. It was very easy for me to learn to ride and it even came naturally...I spent extra time on loving and knowing the current pony/horse I rode so we could make a better team. I saw so many people sometimes hitting their horses after messing up on a barrel pattern...and it pained me to see. So did people who changed their horses like bedsheets. The pony I rode for many years was named Apple Pie...and later as I grew I rode a beautiful palomino gelding horse I named Crisco. I had an obsession with food products. The first time I rode a horse was when my dad let me ride his horse Chavez through a barrel pattern. We were trying to decide on whether or not I should move up to an actual horse. I was so scared because he was so much bigger! But on the way "home" (back through the timer from doing a race pattern) I was urging him on and laughing...being on the back of a horse is a beautiful thing. I don't still ride consistently...I had a few years of depression I went through in my teenage years and stopped riding. A few years after that I rode just for a trail ride with my dad...and sometimes we still go out to trail ride. It used to be the main thing we did together. What about you? Have you ever ridden a horse?

I rode horses several times in my youth but I was never taught and so I don't think I ever rode properly...the horse was the one in control, not me.I used to need a leg-up to mount and if the horse cantered or went into a gallop, my bones would be jolted around in my body...it was scary sometimes but I still loved the experiences each time.

Hello. No, I have never ridden a horse. That's a good question. I never had the opportunity to get on to a horse-back. I have been to horse races, and enjoyed watching the races. That's the closest I have ever got to horse riding. Thinking about it, I can sense it can be very exciting, and at the same time can be quite dangerous too, right ?

I have, but just once, for about four hours. I survived and I'll leave it at that. The horse was a little crazy and I swear he was trying to kill me. There are other things that I enjoy more, like walking and riding a bicycle. Though one day I'll probably try horse-riding again. But it will be a while. Not in a real hurry. Though when I was young we lived on a farm and had our own donkey and rode him a lot. Happy trails!

I rode a horse once, yes, only once, when i was in i think 4th grade? it hapened on a girl scout trip where we went out to a farm and all got to ride the horses. We all rode with someone, not alone, but it still scared the heck outta me!!...I was so little and the horse was so big... i think horses are beautiful...but i am still scared to ride one and probably won't ever again LoL
