Horseriding!

is it the Lloyds tsb that have the black stallion as part of they're advertisement...i love them horses..jet black like black beauty...

i think its loyds,by the way horses are beautiful dat one

My forefathers were Horse - riders, they had to save the world on their horse, but in this day and age, i can only do my forefathers works (i.e. save the world etc) in My Bat-Car, AKA Bat-Mobil

Im too busy saving the world to be concerned with horse or entertainment etc. No rest for the wicked, saving the world is like having 2 full time jobs.

naj

:shock: SUBHANALLAH!! :shock:

imagine riding that horse...! :shock:

cant imagine looks amazing....in my dreams ..

aasiyah what breed of horse you've ridden on then ?

What kind is that?

looks like a thoroughbred

*DUST*

Don Karnage

Medyep, no women at all not even lil girls.

I'm placing my money on "in spite of"

yeh 'course! 😃

Med there's a first time for everything... dont worry i'll come in an Afghani Burqa. :twisted:

well good luck. Just expect to get comments from virtually every man there- even in a burqa.

But good idea. You should don the afghan burqa in UK, start the counterinvasion. hehehe

Don KarnageWhat kind is that?

black arabian horse

lol that's a slow counterinvasion.

Hey Med do you ride?

Anybody else here play polo btw?

It's a Persian sport apparently

I dont ride. Cant afford riding in UK, but in pakistan I have ridden. Not too well and not for a long but yeh.

InshaALLAH one day I will do it properly. In UK have to follow regulation. My uncle is a wkd horserider, he doesnt even need a saddle. Wen was lil saw him riding a horse just like that, had a rein. Looked wicked.

polo they play in a place called gilgit and chitral in pakistan. They are parts of princley state of kashmir.

Somebody else mentioned it's expensive in the UK - a couple people actually.

What on earth are they charging there?!

It's best to do it when you can commit some time to it though - so waiting isnt a bad idea.

lol wouldn't recommend going without a saddle at first though.

najaasiyah what breed of horse you've ridden on then ?

thats a good question - which i never got around to asking my teacher! 🙁 it was dark brown with a little white diamond-shaped patch on its forehead - adorable. 🙂 i've got a pic of it, but posting tht up wud mean destroying my anonymity... 🙁

stick with anonymity

...not that i wouldn't want to see your horse - its just safer this way

Sounds like it could be a Morgan though - esp the diamond, my polo horse looks identical (they are the best polo horses imo)

did it look like this:

no1 sed its expensive, and i've answered that question 3 times now! 😛 it costs, on average, £13 for a private lesson. the max is £25 but thats just a rip-off.

oooo, bareback riding! now that sounds like fun! 🙂

Bareback is difficult and very painful to get the hang of - I still prefer a saddle

did it look like this:

hmm, similar, but no not exactly like that.

edit: i googled it and looked at other pics - yeh i think ur right, it mustv been a morgan. 🙂 i ges it didnt luk too similar to urs coz its mane was nowhere near as big and its diamond was perfectly diamond-shaped, no squidges. 😉

but look wot i found whilst googling:

awww. 😃

lol yeh i can imagine it must be awfully painful... learning to trot on a saddled horse is bad enuf... 😂 but its also a challenge!! 😃

lol well that's not actually mine but I figured - Morgans are really friendly, gentle and responsive to humans - especially children. They are very graceful too and they are smallish (well... mid range) and agile, they are perfect for learning on.

My father put me on his thoroughbred when I first learned how to ride :shock:

That was a damaging experience...

lol that's a really cute picture

Don Karnagelol well that's not actually mine but I figured -

lol yea i meant the pic u provided... 😛

the rates have changed since i last rode!! :shock: u were right, it is expensive here! 🙁 i am paying £27 per private (half hour) lesson, and thats 'cheap' considering other places are charging £32!! :shock:

question: u have any tips on trotting with your hands free i.e without holding on to anything? with one hand free i can get into the rhythm of the trot really easily, but when it comes to both hands i feel like i'm about to fall off. :?

[deleted by admin]

reason - from now please use proper handle. do not twist. Lets hope you understand.

That's highway robbery! I bet they override the horses too.

It just comes naturally as your balance improves - watch that you don't overcompensate and dig your heels into the horse though because they hate it.

I think the only real trick I practiced was for polo when you practice swinging - they used to have us stand on really small boxes then try to stay on while we practiced - difficult! But it really helped me keep my balance during matches.

Except for that one time...

Sorry for fishing this thread out but I need to ask a few questions.

Aasiyah you have horseriding lessons innit? How much should I expect to pay per hour?

I spoke to a lady on a horse a few days back and she goes that I can get lessons in our ends for 15 pound an hour but apparently that place aint very good and she goes I can have proper good lessons for 25 pound an hour. Does that seem right price?

My parents want me to go to her house on a horse so gotta get some riding lessons - dont want the dulha raja to fall off the horse on his way to his bride, do we now 😉 .

it dont take a genius to ride a horse :roll:

u looking to gallop to her house?

anyone can ride a horse-its easier then riding a bike

I'm always riding horses whenever I visit pakiland in clifton beach-ask ur wifey to be where that is

MuslimSisLilSisit dont take a genius to ride a horse :roll:

well done at riding a horse without being a genius. :twisted:

I already know clifton and other places in karachi but thanks for the suggestion.

We havent spoken to each other.

lol anybody can learn to ride a horse, but you do have to learn - thus the reason he's asking for lessons.

Haven't gone riding in a while myself... just don't seem to have the time anymore.

aye, u prob gona need lessons....after all, you have to come riding in like a knight ready to rescue a damsel in distress

but horses and stuff?

now where were those hundreds of posts regarding weddings as simple events, with nothing fancy, not too many people, low key, a day of sadness for the wife....are you still planning on making her cry on the day? :twisted:

its funny how people say something, and when they actually experience it, they say something else :roll:

lol. Med those prices sound about right - the £15 lesson is probably a group lesson, so it wont just be you and the riding instructor, but one or two other students as well, and it's an hour long. the £25 lesson sounds like a private lesson (just you and the instructor) but it can't be an hour long - private lessons usually last for half an hour.
