(Full disclosure, I don't know if @UNC71-00 rides or just watches his daughters / wife ride horses)
For those who ride horses, just how hard is it to learn? Keep in mind I'm white, not flexible, and my balance sucks. My girlfriend is an avid horse owner / rider and has decided she wants me to learn how to ride as soon as she sells one of her current horses and replaces it with one that's safe for beginners to ride. Shoot me straight....are my balls going to be bruised like hell the next day? How easy is it to fall off?
I despise situations like these where I have to completely check my pride at the door, so I just want to prepare myself for how difficult it's going to be, beforehand. Luckily, it's her own private pasture, so it ain't like a ton of people are going to be there to see me Christopher Reeves myself.
Thoughts?
