So Sitting On One Even In A Saddle Requires A Lot More Balance And Active Effort Than A Motorcycle Or A Chair - Tumblr Posts

I always thought it was like an exaggeration when horse people would talk about how silly it was for anyone to think that riding a horse does not require any particular level of skill or balance or anything, or even that they "drive themselves" (???) but just the tags on the reblogs of that "can you ride a bike and/or horse" post from me alone are demonstrating how overconfident some people are in their (often entirely theoretical!) ability to stay on an alive and moving animal with a will of its own.

horses are living things made of meat not metal or wood
so sitting on one even in a saddle requires a lot more balance and active effort than a motorcycle or a chair
also their back moves a hell of a lot more than it looks like it does so its very easy to get bounced right off
even if youre not going very fast
that being said even some horse people dont give a fuck and just bounce around
which hurts the horse
but i digress
