@Pepijn yep, but a crazy one, wanting to eat all the time and going crazy fast later. Photo taken when calm for a few seconds.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.
Have you sat on a horse?

@Pepijn
I have ridden a horse on a few occasions in my life, but never sat on a cow.Anecdote:
Dad used to tell me that when he was a kid, in 1940s Hong Kong, he had to ride an ox to school. Life was hard then, and that I should really appreciate being able to go to school so easily, and to study hard.
When I was older Mum told me that Dad's story was incomplete.
Dad rode the ox to the station. He then took a train to the town where he had a bicycle chained up. He then rode the bike to school.
Dad's family owned the village farm. The ox normally worked the fields. Few people in his village could afford train fare, or a bicycle to be left in the town, or the school fees! -

@Pepijn I'm not that rich.

@Pepijn Never did, and I’m actually surprised by the current state of the survey: did expect 80% of no, not 80% of yes.
Let’s see how it evolves with a wider demographic.

@Pepijn I briefly took riding lessons as a child (English not Western). I even did a bit of jumping.
My family could not afford it for long so I had to quit. But it was so much fun while it lasted! -

@Pepijn
I've been stepped on by a horse.
I've been thrown by a horse.
I've been held hostage and injured by a horse running amok through low branches.Therefore, I will never sit on a horse again.

@Pepijn Once. W program that let school kids try different sports. None of them stuck but one of them had me riding. Neither me nor horse liked it.

When I was 19 or so my girlfriend at the time and I sat on horses that walked very slowly along the beach in Galveston. When I sat on my horse it started peeing and it Just. Didn’t. Stop. I experienced this with growing awe and horror as it just kept coming.

When I was very little our landlady had family who had a farm, and we used to visit, and I was placed on a very big horse. I expect the photo is still at Mum's house somewhere.
Roll on 30 years, and at university a few of use postgrad students took up riding lessons for a while. I love the horses, but didn't really have the nerve to get the best from it.

@Pepijn
Why would you sit on a cow?
I was taught how to milk a cow.In Ireland either the poor or very rich keep horses. There is even a "pound" for wandering horses in Limerick city.

@Pepijn I think I've only done it once though, and that was at a distant relation's acreage (they owned horses). I can't think of when else I would have had the opportunity without deliberately seeking it out. And I live in Cowboy Country.

@Pepijn@mastodon.online there was this viral video a few years ago of a girl who taught her cow to jump obstacles even. I think they had a farm but weren't able to have a horse.
