Ultimate shoulder rides

Welcome.  You'll probably be more successful finding rides (if that's what you are looking for) if you add a bit more information.  Like: where do you live (or frequently visit) where you'd want to find rides?  And how do potential ponies contact you?

Yes, it's helpful if members state where they live and whether they are riders or carriers. I am on the south coast of England opposite the western tip of the Isle of Wight. Across the channel is France. For those in the USA and elsewhere in the world, England is a small island off the north west coast of the European mainland. I ride on a guys shoulders regularly and I have a good sense of balance. I prefer outdoor rides but somewhere secluded. If any carriers are looking for an experienced shoulder jockey then please contact me, particularly any living in or visiting England.

82! Gosh, do people really live that long?

England?? I've only ever heard people talk of it, but I thought it was a mythical place.

Jokes aside, welcome!

To get back to the serious subject of shoulder-riding, this last Monday morning (08 February 2016) I had a 1/2 day off work and had a fantastic shoulder-ride on a big guy's shoulders.

He was taller and weighed much more than me. I am not that tall (about average) and not that weighty (below the average weight for a guy my age because I'm athletic) but I did enjoy riding around on the shoulders of a heavy guy (and bossing him too!)

Do members have any preferences about the kind of guys (or females) they shoulder-ride? Do you like to ride on the shoulders of small weak guys maybe? Or do you prefer big heavyweight guys? Lastly, is it acceptable for guys to ride on the shoulders of females?

You are so lucky Checkmate guy..you get so many Ponies.

And you Ride Outside.

Here down in India, finding a Rider seems impossible.

As a horse I can say if someone can train me for rides, there is nothing better than that.
The whole riding experience gets more enjoyable and memorable.

I am now tired of paying to be ridden...getting a lot of toll on my wallet.

Reply to Trigger: you need to look for a dominant person as your rider (male or female). That means looking in the right place. I was told about a website today (I'm not a member and haven't even looked at it) but it's called fetlife (I think it's short for fetish life). You might have success there - maybe.

Reply to manbackrider: like I said, I always thought that as a shoulder-rider you can just get on a pony-guy's or pony-girl's shoulders and ride the pony. But this is often not the case. You've heard of dumb animals, yes? Well, there seems to be dumb humans too. Surprisingly, some human ponies have to be taught/trained in how to give a shoulder-rider a ride. Like the big guy I rode on Monday of this week. He was physically able to carry me but he had to be 'incentivised.' Alternative words for incentivised are 'motivated,' 'compelled,' 'ordered,' and so on. Like I said too, several whacks with a broad leather belt across the pony-guy's buttocks seemed to work. The other thing you could do as a shoulder-rider if you find yourself sat astride the shoulders of an inexperience or novice human pony is to just sit there and do your best to encourage the 'beast of burden' to carry you and give you the ride you need and deserve. Personally, I prefer to use the stick rather than a carrot - and a stick is cheaper!

Hi Trigger, you know you'll get a lot of male riders willing to ride you free of cost. I think you should try and be more open to lifting and carrying guys as well, without imposing any limitations. Once you get used to it, it can be very enjoyable.

My experience with shoulder riding began with giving my older sister shoulder rides and piggyback rides. I asked her as a joke if she'd want a shoulder ride or piggyback ride then before I knew it, she either sat on my shoulders for a shoulder ride or jumped on my back for a piggyback ride. I still do from time to time, and my nieces as well. It was just always so much fun to me. Shortly afterwards, my nieces saw what was happening and wanted me to do the same for them. I enjoy doing the same for them as well.
