philosophers on horseback

So I rode a horse for the first time today. It was exhilirating in so many ways, not really. I basically sat there hoping he would stay on the trail, which he did. It was slightly painful when we started to trot. No one told me to stand in the saddle when you trot. Needless to say it can be a dangerous situation when a philsopher rides a horse. Thankfully no one was injured in the outting. But I would do it again. It's good training if I get to ride a camel overseas.
