Our cruise shore excursion was horseback riding on Grand Turk, which our kids excelled at - and which Kirk and I were pretty traumatized by. :) It was funny how the nice Caribbean guides kept riding up to see how the kids were doing and I had to tell them that actually the kids ride horses at summer camp and love them whereas Kirk and I hadn't ridden in 20 years and were quite scared. The guides were very bemused. The scariest part was going downhill - at least that was the scariest part until we got into water riding.<br /><br />That was the part that was so unique about the shore excursion. After a regular ride around the beach, you dismount and they resaddle the horses with a special water saddle (which is very much like riding bareback with just a little foam pad to sit on and some reins to hold onto). Then you get back on in your bathing suit and aqua shoes and ride the horses into the ocean.<br /><br />Totally freaky. The horses get very excited and run in a herd, which is scary as your legs slam into other horses, etc. It doesn't last long in terms of time, but in terms of experience, Kirk tells me that it will last him a lifetime!johnsonweiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325875797805284194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-22607274117650642362009-08-25T21:39:00.543-04:002009-08-25T21:39:00.543-04:00Generally so, until you get into the realm of moto...Generally so, until you get into the realm of motocross. My experience with 50cc minis was more pile-driver than jackhammer, but I believe the experience is still relevant.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226787274021701941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533114.post-76533767936644725752009-08-25T19:41:36.992-04:002009-08-25T19:41:36.992-04:00Motorcycles do not trot, directing the entire forc...Motorcycles do not trot, directing the entire force of their momentum into a series of sudden vertical jackhammer-like blows, which are delivered upward into whatever is directly above the saddle, such as the rider's most sensitive anatomical parts. At least, I've never heard of motorcycles doing that.Jonadabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960094338418224109noreply@blogger.com
