Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Yes
No
Poll ends at .

note: the question is not "have your rich parents paid 50.000 of your local currency on gloriously expensive horse lessons and then you went on a skiing holiday". The question is: "have you sat on a horse".

Mini-horse = horse

Pony = horse

Cow = not horse, wrong thread.

And yes, as many people point out: that school-trip to an inner-city petting school where all six yr olds sat on Alfiiiii!! the sturdy mini-horse = yes, I've sat on a horse.

edit: Macro-horse = horse

@Pepijn not sat on a cow or horse but once sat on a camel somewhere in Morocco

@Workshopshed
I was going to ask if a camel* was a horse too, but I suspected that might try @Pepijn's patience to much.

* "Designed by a committee" etc.

@TG_Esq
pretty sure camels are even-toed like cows, while horses are odd-toed, so not even relatives

@Workshopshed @Pepijn

@wolf480pl @TG_Esq @Pepijn except with camels the udder is on the top
@Workshopshed @Pepijn
Horse yes, cow no, but topping with seal = yes 😁 - on land, though, and to immobilise it, not for transport 😆
