Hi #fediverse.

@Pepijn it depends on where people grew up and when. Many people who've grown up in cities haven't been to areas with horse riding. Unless they're rich enough for holidays with horse riding included this won't factor into their lives.
@Kay Scouting and possibly other summer camps might offer such a thing. I got to attend a Girl Scout camp that was specifically horse-focused. We weren't rich by any stretch.
Also, I grew up in Houston TX, but there are plenty of rural areas in and around it where people have horses. I even owned one for a little while.

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.

I have also sat astride a cow, but that's another story... -
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 do camels count?
I've also sat on a chicken but that was an accident and neither of us enjoyed it.

@Pepijn I have, technically, but only once or twice, on a pony as a child.

@Pepijn @napalousa Seeing a lot more strong feelings on this than the cow poll. I too have sat on a horse and hated the experience. The horse running away and throwing me at a metal gate has something to do with it.

@Pepijn Soooo much horse sitting in my life. I think they mostly liked it though.

@Pepijn I rode a horse once as part of a scout camp thing, and once or twice when I was very young.
I do routinely use my dog as a pillow, not sure if that counts. (He's not quite big enough to ride, even though he is bigger than me.)

@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.)
-
@Pepijn I have vivid memories of being on the horse but not why I was on it. I just know Horse happened.

Rode horses before in my life, but never heard of riding a cow (other than rodeo) -

@Pepijn
I'm curious how this would fall along age lines. I saw a comment that said he is in the US - only rich folks have access to horses. I am 70 - grew up rather poor in the US and rode horses a couple times a year.
I find it to be rather unaffordable now. -

@Pepijn Used to love riding. Big Whiskey was my guy at the local place to pay to ride.
