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?

@alice @Pepijn
Same! I was trying to milk our goat after a phantom pregnancy and was straddling her, holding on to one horn as I bent over trying to milk her (she weighed 100lb!).I was totally concentrated and then heard some noise and turned my head around to see my wife and daughter both creased up laughing because it apparently looked a bit, err, wrong.

@diazona @robynredbreast I mean, anyone who did a pony ride as a kid has sat on a horse.
@josh0 @robynredbreast Hmm, yeah I guess if that's a normal thing to do for most people, that would account for why this result seems strange to me.

@diazona @robynredbreast I guess the fact that I see that as an obviously normal thing to do suggests there may be an issue of perspective here. π

@Pepijn I grew up with neighbors who had horses, so I rode them quite a lot (mostly the nice girl Dusty, not her sorta asshole stallion Smoke; on a good day he'd let a boy on but he was unimpressed).
I do live rural but not enough to really justify a horse of my own.
How are city people ever gonna see a horse? With cops?

@Pepijn
at least on a Pony or Mule;
probably a proper horse too.(My interactions with Cows were rather less friendly; they're stooopid and crowd-followers. But they're tasty.)

@josh0 @robynredbreast hehe yeah probably
Just to be clear, by "pony ride" you don't mean "ask your friend who lives on a farm if you can ride one of their ponies", right? That's the only kind of pony ride I would have been aware of as a kid, and it was definitely not a normal thing to do.

@Pepijn I attended a riding day camp run by the county parks and recreation department for several summers

@diazona @robynredbreast no no. Like people hire pony rides for their kidsβ birthday parties. A person shows up with a small horse at their house, and lets the kids ride it.
There were also pony rides at a lot of the parks and zoos I went to as a kid.

@josh0 @robynredbreast π yeah makes sense... I learned that that's a thing at some point after I grew up and entered the "real world". (Though to this day I have never seen a real party where this was happening)

When I was a kid, a fair would have a pony ride as one of the activities. Even my (well within the city) elementary school had pony rides at some of its fairs.
The ponies were trucked in and a round pen would be set up. Kids would sit on the ponies as they walked around in circles around the pen. Itβd cost so many tickets for a few minutes (and the tickets cost money to buy).

@Pepijn Yes! When I was a teenager, my sister and I would go horse riding together.

@Pepijn this data is skewed. Theres no way that many people have sat on a horse outside of the Midwest and or south.
I have seen horses all over the world. I have sat on them in a few of those places.

@Pepijn My Dad had me on a horse at age two. He and the stable master got involved in a conversation, and meanwhile the horse apparently got tired of waiting, so he took off with me in the saddle. By the time Dad organized a search party the horse brought me back. I was laughing and having a great time! He didnβt tell Mom until years after they were divorced, as he was afraid she would have clobbered him. She probably would have. I still love riding!
