I am an avid horse-rider, but i was thinking about what other animals you can ride, and i made this poll. Yes, it is possible to ride a dolphin, i have done it myself and it is fun!!!!
A weird poll, i know:rolleyes: ;)

Only a horse :( I REALLY want to swim with/ride dolphins and Killer whales. It'd be pretty awesome to ride an elephant ... a BIG elephant!
I've ridden horses, a donkey (I just sat on his back and he walked around a bit), and a camel (at the zoo)...except I forgot to vote for the camel :o
Swimming with orcas would be AWESOME! They are one of my favourite animals. .sarah, here is a link for the place i went swimming with dolphins, it's really good, just thought i'd let you have a look:) If you ever do go, then look out for a dolphin called CJ, he's the one i swam with, and i was 8 at the time, so i kept dreaming that he was my dolphin LOL!
I ride horses, I have never ridden a pony.
I have ridden a camel at a zoo and an elephant at the rennaisance fair
i´ve ridden most of them but a dolphin, and a hinny i dont know whats that so all the rest is a yes
A hinny is very much like a mule, but a mule is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse, a hinny is a cross between a female donkey and a male horse. Here's a mule:

And here's a hinny:

They are quite different when you look closely:)
You forgot Great Dane! Just kidding. I've ridden a Galapagos turtle when I was a kid.
only horses here! :D
ohhh!! I know mules, but hinnys i never heard the name before
its like a mule is a donkey with a horse body
and a hinny a horse with a donkey body
really quite different,
I've never rode ANYTHING! :( I badly want to go horseback riding, or something. It sounds like so much fun but.. I just, never have!
It really is fun, you've got to try it some time, you will be hooked!!!!;) :DQuote:

I've rode ponies, horses, a friend's cow... and an elephant at the circus when I was little (I have a picture^^!). And I remember when I was little, I went with my dad to one of his friend's houses, and they sat me on his friend's rottweiler and I rode it untill I slipped and fell off... but I wouldn't really count that.
Several horse and ponies. An elephant and camel at the zoo.
I ride horses regularly, so yes, I've ridden horses, and I've also ridden a camel before. That was fun, but interesting too!:) Camels are cool though!;)
Boy I'd hate to be the female donkey, that has to be a tough delivery.Quote:

When I was little, I rode an elephant at a circus. Then at fairs I have rode ponies and mules when I was a kid.
Wow, I didn't know you could do that...the male horse, I assume, is a small breed? As far as I knew, the mom had to be a horse because she is bigger. If you had a big male horse mate with a small female donkey...what happens if the foal is really big? It would be likely to kill her, no?Quote:

I'm not entirely sure how they breed hinnies, but i think they generally use mammoth donkeys, and smallish horses or even ponies. Mules are more common than hinnies as they are stronger and more intelligent, and apparently jennets (female donkeys) are less fertile than mares. I think hinnies arwe really cute though:)Quote:

I can't resist equine faces:rolleyes: :D
Horse, donkey, elephant, camel, and other.
As a little kid, I used to ride my poor dogs around :rolleyes: . Two of them were actually pretty good about it, too. They'd take me all over. Also rode on sheep, cows, and one big sow when I was little.
I've ridden horses, a pony and an elephant (that was a looooong time ago...). I'd love to try and ride a Killer Whale some day though...
I have ridden three horses (Butch, Maggy, and Strawberry) and several ponies. I have also ridden a camel and an elephant..Oh, I forgot to chose other too! My aunts gigantic dog made a perfect riding buddy for a little girl! LOL!
Steph and the gang
Carole and I ride horses in the Blue Mountains on occasion. Plus I once rode a camel along the Dead Sea, which was an experience! :D
Among the several listed critters I've ridden, I've also ridden a pig. I was very young then and it happened one day, and a short ride with someone holding me steady!
I think it happened because I said I wanted to go ride a kalesa or go horseback riding. No one had time and it was just a joke I guess to humor me and put me on a pig's back. :) http://www.cmnielsen.dk/images/upload/Manila/06.jpg

While helping to feed the same pigs one day, I had a very poofy little dress on and it went through the pig wire -- one of the pigs chomped on and was trying to eat my dress! That was scary. lol This was in the Philippines and familes and friends typically had chickens and pigs. The maid at the house came when I screamed and I got my dress back without having it ripped. I liked the piggies, just didn't understand them at that time and I don't think they understood me. haha
Oh and my little sister's friend rode Bubba the "tame" Alligator. I held is head in my lap and the herp show a few years ago.
