Hi #fediverse.

@Pepijn I sat on horses, a cow and a pig. (Don't try that last one, kids, best outcome is you get dirty. If you are less lucky than I was, you can get seriously hurt.)
@tkissing
> (Don't try that last one, kids, best outcome is you get dirty.Actually .. that depends on the pig.

@Pepijn do camels count?
I've also sat on a chicken but that was an accident and neither of us enjoyed it.

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 One of my dad's friends was a jouster, which at least for that kind involved putting your lance through three rings suspended by strings in the shortest amount of time. I sat on one of the ponies he brought with him named Rosebud

@Pepijn I have sat, walked, trotted and galloped on a few horses but no formal lessons. I got thrown and stepped on too. Dad and his pal were ex-bikers with horses and mom came from farmers.

@Pepijn you touched pretty weird aspect of reality. I was raised on farm. Got basically daily contact with working horses. Never sat on them, though. Never ride them. Later in my life when my kids discovered riding passion, I needed to accompany. So its yes and no simoultanously :)

@Pepijn do horse like creatures like ponys count?

note: the question is not "have your rich parents paid 50.000 of your local currency on gloriously expensive horse lessons and then you went on a skiing holiday". The question is: "have you sat on a horse".
Mini-horse = horse
Pony = horse
Cow = not horse, wrong thread.
And yes, as many people point out: that school-trip to an inner-city petting school where all six yr olds sat on Alfiiiii!! the sturdy mini-horse = yes, I've sat on a horse.
edit: Macro-horse = horse
@Pepijn oh if pony is horse, then yes. But I answered no because I didnβt think ponies are horses (but also according to wiki, they are!)

No, but donkey rides were a thing when I was a kid. Might still be. Who knows. -

@Pepijn while i do like Mastodon, the polls are broken. This is the third time my choice becomes another choice; I voted no but it became yes and I can not change it.

@Pepijn sadly yes, although strictly it was a very grumpy pony.
And a camel twice. All times terrified me.

@Pepijn Does a camel count? -
@robynredbreast @diazona we still have Arabbers selling fresh produce out of horse-drawn carts here in #Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Weβre not that far away from the time when horses were a major mode of transportation.
@josh0 @robynredbreast Yeah, although I wouldn't think 78% of the customers sit on the horses! π
Like, I know horses are still around, and I could totally believe something like a third of people having ever sat on a horse. It's just surprising that it's such a large majority.
