    Does/Has anyone gone horse back riding? I love it soo much and it miss it so much, it was the coolest. I learned english style riding, im not sure if people learn english or western style more, which is more common. Anyways. Best feeling ever. Ill have horses one day.

    I love it. When I was younger my parents were forced to take me every summer. haha My favorite was riding through Mayan ruins in Mexico.

    I tried horseback riding last June for the first time. Here is a picture.

    It was really fun and I would like to do it again. I have always dreamed of riding horses on the beach somewhere.

    with most horse folks i know, english seems to rule all....

    i've tried both, and i liked western better, but it would be less comfortable at a quicker pace, i'd imagine.

    i only took riding lessons for a very short time. it was fun though, and i love horses

    The town I live in is riddled with horses so yeah, I have many times. I've never owned a horse but I've known a few people who have. I love to be riding the horse and having it canter and run...Such a great feeling.

    i've only ridden a horse once, and i didn't particularly like it. i just don't like horses at all really. they are ugly, useless animals in my opinion, and a majority of the people that own horses (at least around here) are snobby as fuck about it.


    i also didn't realize that there was more than one style of riding, besides normal and sidesaddle...



    i'm still a n00b myself, but i'll be pwning horses soon enough...

    Seeing you do that in bare feet makes me cringe, I remember being on horses that would step on you, role on the ground worth you in the saddle or just scrape you off with a tree. In the most affectionate way though.
    Wouldn't it be great if we could use horses for short journeys instead of cars and buses? less roadrage and bad driving. less toes and more people scraped off on trees but so what[​IMG]

    I dunno, I kinda like cars and their stereos haha, but yea, the barefoot thing!! Ive only ridden in like, gear. It would be so comfortable to not wear a riding helmet and all.

    New car smell will never compete with horse smell(I wonder is there a spray?) I love how horses smell. There could be an opulent saddle that has a stereo and cup holder. Horses are beautiful . . . but crazy.

    That is übercute and überstylish.
    The outfit is the only reason I'd EVER try horse back riding.
