Have you ever ridden on a horse and buggy?

Yes, I have when we were living in the country and my partner had a horse.

He bought a buggy and I had a ride in it though was petrified as he knew little about it.
He went on to take another friend and the horse bolted and the buggy was smashed....luckily the friend was OK, but makes a funny story.

I had been on one as a tourist years before.

Oh! finy, was the horse ok? I don't see that as 'funny'. For your friend it would have been rather terrifying, & dangerous!

P.S. It's ride 'in' a horse & buggy. Tad difficult to ride 'on' the horse & the buggy at the same time! Lol!

Yes - a few years ago in Victoria, British Columbia, whilst on holiday.

I would love to go on the Horse and buggy rides which were operated as part of the open days for many historical houses when I was in Victoria. I loved them!! The sound of the horses' hooves was so delightful,and really seemed to take me back through time!!

Yes, we went for a horse-drawn carriage ride round Marrakesh during our honeymoon there. Very romantic....

Yes I have years ago overseas somewhere, can't remember where! In my younger years I travelled a lot

I road in a horse-drawn slay once, but that's it. I was around 11 or 12 years old at the time.

but your horse does not look happy!!

He is poking out his tongue at you!...lol

Yes, when a teenager, not only did I drive/ride in one, but also had to ready all for the Show Ring.

The number of straps that required to be placed correctly, from horse to buggy were numerous, plus the 'pole' each side of the horse. It was a great feeling driving around, so leisurely, & 'oldy-worldly'.

Also was driven in one from 'Sheraton' ship to Karnak Temple, Egypt. Surprisingly, the horse was well-fed, & in good condition. Many of them, & donkeys', in that country, aren't.

Yes, I rode in a Handson Cab (horse drawn carriage) around central park when in New York.

Did you mean Central Park, Retired Writer? I saw them riding through the park the 3 times I've visited NYC. Beautiful looking horses, aren't they?

I haven't ridden in a horse and buggy but I have riddeen in a horse and cart and also in a Cobb & Co coach. The Cobb & Co Coach ride was in Longreach and it was awesome.

No. I have always had horses . . . I prefer to be on top . . . . buggies make me uneasy for some reason.

by Rice

Oh yes. Many times. I have been in a horse and buggy at farms and historic pioneer villages. There are also horse and buggy rides that take you around the sights in most major capital cities. I have done that. When my girlfriend was planning her wedding, she wanted to arrive in a horse and buggy, but it would have been too far for the horse, so she arrived in a nice car instead.
