60 minutes divided by 5 equals 12 dollars so 5 time 12 equals $60.

I rode without a saddle at 4 or 5, but that was still under supervision. First time on my own was at 16. My wife wants us to share riding lessons one week each, but I gladly let her take all lessons herself. I think the horse is happy about that too...

Along the beach at a holiday camp. The fun bit was when the horse got fed up plodding along in line and decided to gallop. I enjoyed it but the supervisor went a funny colour and shouted a lot.

Did a good bit of horse back riding at my friend's ranch in Bolivia (where I got one of the worst cases of chiggers imaginable ).

I think you confuse this with Vietnam.

Latest intel I got (Hamburg, last weekend, not me, but a friend! ) is prices between €30/45min (amateurs in the parks) and €200/hour (professionals in public houses). But contrary to common belief, none of them are horses.

Couple of things I'd like to comment on.

Gangerolf, a golden retriever? Sorry. Doesn't count.
Mike! MikeH! Thanks for the update. Cars, you say?


I meant to include a query as to your favorite brand of horse.
Appaloosa's are handsome.

Probably around 8. Maybe even 7. We have friends who live in Maine who have horses. I rode on the back, and they helped me along, trotting, and making sure they were under control at all times. It was really fun. I think that if I applied myself to it, I could become a pretty decent rider.

7 or 8, had to wait until my lil' sis was old enough to ride with my folks on one, so maybe it was as early as 5...

Fortunately, my wife loves horses (was very close to going to vet school for large animals) and she always wants to ride... We go up to Tahoe now and then and take a ride... Her aunt is a barrel racer and we go see her and her horses every easter.

I'm impartial to them.

But I'd love to. The only animal I rode so far was a donkey.

Eleven I think, but possibly younger and I've forgotten. Cousin's had a horse ranch in New Joisey.
