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?

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 while I've never sat on a horse, I sat on a dromedary once

@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.

Mechanical vehicles are superior on every way.

@Pepijn I have once, and will spare everyone the story of that inglorious (for me) ending.

@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.

@Pepijn Only on a pony. So: nope.
@eigengott @Pepijn wikipedia tells me a pony is a type of horse, so it should count! (otherwise i voted wrong '^^)

@Pepijn But I've sat on an Indian elephant. Who reckoned horses were a little overrated. Professional rivalry, maybe?

@Pepijn
I sat on a horse and as well on a cow. Didn't see the cow poll so unfortunately I couldn't vote.
In addition I sat on a pig as well
My grandpa and two uncles were farmers and I spent most of my school holidays there. My cousin and I tried to ride all of them, but we only succeeded on horses, no real ride on cow and pig

@Pepijn Are we talking a REAL horse? Or do toy horses count?

@Pepijn I did soon thereafter fall off the horse. I bounced down 113 steps.
I have not since sat on a horse. -

@Pepijn i thought this sounded super silly until i realized that even me, who basically never leaves my house, have sat on a horse once before. So maybe you're onto something...

@Pepijn@mastodon.online Here it is. Its German, sorry.
The cow is named Luna and can do 8 jumps until she is tired.
