ww_watcher Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Spent my boyhood summers on my grandparent's ranch that used horses and was an Indian Guide during the summers during my later teens at El Rancho Cima boyscout camp. I had to look up "posting." The horse taught me to be light in the saddle by occasionally but deliberately popping me into the air, then hopping sideways just enough that I would land halfway off the saddle, then stop; pitching me head over heels into the dirt. Then the damn thing would wait patiently for me to get back on. Eventually I caught on and he stopped doing that. Smart-assed equine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy T. Squirrel Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I rode a horse once. Scared me to death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenKraft Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 You mean that you went to summer camp with my wife? :yikes: She can canter with the best and post with the rest. My cousins had to go to Jewish summer camp one year. They told me that there was some cantorial posting that took their respective breaths away. But that's a long story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it would have had to be a long dong posting. ;D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodworker Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Karen, I think your "Train Song" tread just derailed. Unless I'm the only one that can't seem to re-access it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww_watcher Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Speaking of saddle horns.... Remember the bicycle seats that were padded and had springs underneath? Well one of my HS friend's little sister had a bike with that kind of seat only the bracket that held the front down had broken so the seat would point slightly up, suspended by the springs. As you can imagine, the front tip of the seat would bounce as she rode over the bumps in the sidewalk and street. It was a while before I realized why she rode slightly off the seat... I'm pretty sure I caught on before her brother because sometimes she would help me with my paper route for movie money and one day I saw her start to gently rub her puss on the point of the seat with a rather determined look on her face and glaze in her eyes and she would coast a lot for that bit. I look back and wonder why I didn't take advantage and also what else I missed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foamy T. Squirrel Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 That's a good story, ww_watcher. Personally, I tried to avoid bouncing against the seat. It's a "protect the huevos rancheros" kind thing with me. But didd you get any pictures??? ;D ;D ;D (Oh wait, we don't allow begging here. I forgot. :P) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollex Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hey Foamy: Here's one for "remember when" During WWII, there was a shortage of all metals as they went to the war effort. I had a paper route (remember what they were?) and the wagon I kept my papers on had was all wood with wooden, yes, wooden wheels. Boy, maybe that didn't make a racket when I pulled it around my route. How's that for nostalgia? Rollex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
