horseback riding? Some of us are going to take a day of riding after grad school lets out for the summer, and I've never been. I'm sure it will be western style. Anybody gone or does it for a hobby?

Posted: 3/22/05 at 12:35amI love it! It takes a little getting used to at first, but it's so much fun.

Posted: 3/22/05 at 12:35amI used to go when I was younger. But, I don't anymore because I think it's kind of cruel.

I used to go on trails all the time in the summer.
Sometimes I went bareback (which I don't recommend at ALL - talk about pain!) - and don't say anything about that, sickos!

Posted: 3/22/05 at 10:55pmI took lessons (not Western) for a few years. It is A LOT of fun, just don't be scared, and make sure your horse knows who is boss.

The last time I went horseback riding was when I was probably 5 or 6. And that time, my dad led the horse with a piece of rope.

Posted: 3/22/05 at 11:19pmI used to when I was a kid, for 6 or 7 years. I kind of wish I still did.

Posted: 3/22/05 at 11:40pmI used to ride and I did it for years. I'm not a big fan of Western, but it's all good. Expect your legs to be sore for a day or two after riding, but other than that, horseback riding is great.

Posted: 3/23/05 at 1:12amI love it, I go as often as I can- last time I went riding was on the beach in Costa Rica in December. It's awesome, but you will definitely be sore for a bit afterwards!
