Ultimate shoulder rides

One thing about the first choice (stationary position where the rider just sits astride the shoulders of the human pony) is that this position enables the rider to have control over the pony. If the pony is ordered by the rider to stand still, the pony must do that. This gives the rider the opportunity and time to experience and enjoy the sensation of just sitting there astride the pony's shoulders without concentrating on maintaining his or her balance, which is required when the pony is walking. The rider can also sit on his or her stationary pony's shoulders in various positions - e.g. with his or her feet tucked tightly behind the pony's ribs; or with his or her legs hanging loose so that the maximum sensation can be experience in the crotch that, when the rider is sat in this position, is pressed tightly up against the back of the pony's neck.  I would recommend any shoulder-rider to try sitting astride a stationary pony in both these ways. You'll probably enjoy the experience. As for ponies, being trained or ordered to stand stationary is a good way for them to learn to accept the authority and orders of their riders. This is what real ponies and horses are trained to do so the same should/must apply to human ponies.

Another excellent albeit disciplinary pony training technique is the 'lifting-up and lowering-down' (if the pony is strong enough, of course). This training technique consists of (1) the pony standing behind the rider who is stood upright with his or her legs slightly apart; (2) the pony lowers his or her head and pushes it between the rider's thighs; (3) the pony, who is now in a crouching position, lifts the rider up on the back of his or her neck until he or she (the pony) is stood upright and the rider is sitting astride the pony's shoulders; (4) in no less than one minute, the pony then lowers the rider down on the back of his or her neck by bending over/forward until the rider's feet touch the ground; (5) the pony then immediately lifts the rider again as in (3); (6) this lifting and lowering continues for as long as the pony can do this or for as long as the rider demands the pony to do it.

Years ago, I used to see schoolboys (aged around 11-13 years old) lifting and lowering each other in this way in the school playground. Usually, there would be two or three boys being lifted and lowered by two or three other boys. It tended to be a contest to see how many times one boy could lift another. The most dominant boys used to win because they'd force the boys they were riding to keep going for as long as possible. It was entertaining to watch and a crowd of children would often gather to cheer on the riders. The crowd of children usually consisted of roughly half girls and half boys as the school was a mixed comprehensive. Interestingly enough, the schoolgirls used to enjoy watching as much as the boys but in those days the girls never had any shoulder rides (or shoulder-lifts) probably because it was considered immodest to do so and all the girls wore skirts anyway.

I'm sure I already replied your post, Check, but I don't see it ..... ? Maybe I mistyped something ? Or did it say anything wrong ,and was erased by the mod ???

Anyway, what I said was that, unfortunately, Women were not as demanding as you are, and apparently not interested in the noble discipline of dressage :-(
And I added that if I was younger, I would probably switch from WOM to MOM riding, on a temporary basis probably, in order to know the bliss of being the true horse/mule of a truely demanding rider ... SIGH ....

Maybe a fe younger ponies on that forum are wondering whether they should try a male rider ... Well ... My advice ? : If you don't try it now, maybe you'll regret it in your old age   ;-)
