What animals have you ridden?

[Miss Z]

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

[.sarah]

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!

[k9krazee]

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

[Miss Z]

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 have ridden a camel at a zoo and an elephant at the rennaisance fair

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

Boy I'd hate to be the female donkey, that has to be a tough delivery.



I have ridden horses & a mule. I also rode a camel & an eliphant at the rennaisance fair.

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?

I've only ridden horses. Although when I was a kid they had "stuffed" animals...what do you call them? Like taxodermy or whatever you call it. They were real, but they stuffed them Anyway when I was a kid someone put me on a stuffed lion o_O I have a picture of it somewhere.

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


I can't resist equine faces

[Allecto]

Horse, donkey, elephant, camel, and other.


As a little kid, I used to ride my poor dogs around . 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.

You forgot Great Dane! Just kidding. I've ridden a Galapagos turtle when I was a kid.
