What type of rider are you? (Funny edition)
Are you curious to know what kind of rider you are? Then quickly take this quiz and find out! But don't take the answers too seriously! 😆
Question 1: Your horse rolls around in the mud just before you ride. What do you do?
a) ‘This is a challenge!’ You brush your horse until he shines again.
b) ‘Ah, a dirty horse is a happy horse.’ You just wipe the spot of the saddle a bit clean.
c) ‘No not again!’ You brush him so he's a bit cleaner, and then go for a ride.
d) ‘How funny! My followers need to see this! This is probably going to get hundreds of likes!’ You take photos for social media and do go riding later.
Question 2: You have a lesson, but your horse suddenly decides to buck. How do you react?
a) You laugh and act or pretend it was meant to. ‘Look at my creative horse!’

d) You startle harder than your horse and shout, ‘AAAAAHHHHHH’.
