Have you ever ridden a horse, a camel, an elephant?
« on: February 04, 2012, 10:03:49 am »
In my younger days, we used to do a lot of horseback riding.  I never owned my own horse.  We would go to a ranch outside of town and rent horses and go for hours.  They usually sent a guide with you, but we had been there so many times, they let us go alone.  When I went to camp, we would go on a horseback riding overnight.  That was a lot of fun.

I have never been on an elephant or a camel, but my kids did do a camel ride when we were at a park in Florida.  They enjoyed their experience.

All of the above.  ;)  Plus a donkey!

I rode a horse during camp when I was younger.

I've been on an elephant a few times when the circus came to town.

I love horseback riding though. At first I was really scared, but it was lovely.

I love horseback riding. I wish I had a horse of my own.
I remember one year I went to the medieval fair and they had elephant rides, but I didn't do that. Nor have I ridden a camel, but that would probably be an interesting experience.

I had horse when I was young and also went to camp where there was horse-back riding.  I don't believe I've ever ridden an elephant or a camel but my son did when we took him to the zoo when he was little.

Both my grandpanents had farms and I rode horses when I was little.  It was a lot of fun.  I rode one horse and fell off but not hurt to bad.  I miss the old days but now in my 70's and live in city.

I have ridden a horse and a pony, but only once or twice.

I rode a horse once when I was younger.  Might have been on an elephant when I was little.  Don't remember so not real sure.  Where would one ride a camel?

I rode (more like I sat on it and it walked around for a minute) a camel before.  I'd like to ride a horse.

I use to ride all the time. Raised on a farm and ranch. Married to a rancher, farmer for a long time. Been thrown a few times, no broken bones but did land on a catcus and had to go get the spines cut out. Now that hurt. couldn't sit for about a week. get the picture as to where i landed.
