Should novice riders be banned?

I love the way these threads evolve 😁

I didn't even need to consult the internet. I have a plethora of utterly useless information on the tip of my tongue.

I bet the biology teachers never thought about the resemblance between the new MLP and embryos😏

I disagree Shils...I think all novices should be allowed on horses....specifically rodeo ones. If that doesn't teach them how to have a good seat nothing will 😂😂😂

The ones you get at fairgrounds or American frat parties?

I was thinking the real ones would be more fun........for us 😂😂

 

[tallyho!]

Oh.... sorry I thought that in being obsequious, it was agreed only mechanical ones were allowed... are we back on real horses now? Must’ve missed a page 😆

Damn you! I had to Google obsequious. Are we being obsequious because we're also being sycophants??

This thread is far too complicated for a Friday night on the Prosecco 👀

I was wondering if prosecco might help follow it 😂😂

I was just thinking were we all secretly dosed with prosecco 😀

I'm on the gin and it's perfectly logical here

Ah so that's where I'm going wrong 😆😆

Damn, have no gin. And it's too late to buy any.

There's always tomorrow night 😉

Then we should make better simulators. Fit at least to teach rising trot with independent hands. I
.

They should also design the simulator to randomly shoot sideways, spin and drop a shoulder, for extra realism.

Yes yes 😅

A mechanical bull should sort them out.

Bloody madness. Of course they should be banned. Unless they have poo picked a rocking horse of course.

 

[Fellewell]

No reins and no stirrups - but how on earth do you stay on long enough to learn to ride without them?!!!!

Well, this is where the science behind the oft-mentioned elephant ear jodhs came in and was all to do with physics. The air flowed over the flared part and was then forced downwards which created an upward force which held the rider in place. As soon as they became unfashionable people started falling off at an alarming rate.

Oh guys, what fun you had last night. What an obsequious bunch of sycophants you are xx

Though it has been an educational read - I now understand completely why people own cobs and why Milliepops has a strawberry coloured pony

 

[canteron]

My space hopper is a little...flaccid.

What, you have ponies and can’t even look after a space hopper properly - disgraceful 😡

Spacehopper novice innit

 

[FestiveFuzz]

I used to wilfully (and incompetently) pilot my blue Space Hopper (bigger than the common-or-garden orange ones, so actually about 17.6hh) around a set of jumps in the garden made of painted bamboo canes ... the fun one was the water jump we made with a length of plastic sheet covered in a thin layer of water - hell if you hit it at an angle on the bounce as you skidded 20 feet into the flower beds.

Great practice for riding real ponies and I recommend it to the House as a necessary prerequisite for being allowed (or alloud?) on any breathing equine henceforth.

PS - How is your Evilness this fine summer?

Ha I used to do the same, until one unfortunate day when my space hopper spooked at a flower pot and landed on the broom....🙈😂

 

[only_me]

I had an epiphany last night. Instead of a test for novice riders, give them a shetland to look after for a year.

If they survive that then they are ready to look after a horse 😜

Hmm... This thread has an air of last night's takeaway curry left on the kitchen table this morning.
