Anecdote: The wife and I enjoyed a tourist horse ride. Because of my motorcycle past time I was assigned "the fast horse". The enjoyable leisurely ride out only had a minor disagreement regards a path shortcut under a low hanging branch. The ride back included a gallop in shallow lake waters. Apoplectically incompetent I hung on for dear life trying to balance standing crouched in the stirrups while we proceeded to overtake everyone thanks to the horses own plan. Thankfully the lead guide called forwards telling it to slow and it was someone else who fell off into the shallow water as we came to a stop. I am far from being a competent rider - either horse or motorbike - but I'd rather be calling the shots! To each their own. :-)
