A single mildly bumpy ride won’t turn you into an NFL domestic abuser, but over the course of 20+ years? And if you were on horses or in rickety carts from the time you were a squishy infant? Boom, curdled grey matter.

No horses = no war, no murder, just pure enlightenment and peace on Earth.

Beware the horse 👀

    I played quite a bit of soccer back in the day, yes. It’s nowhere near the forces of a clash in the NFL, which is what was being mentioned as a typical example of what can give someone a concussion. All I’m saying is that it takes less force than many probably think. I’m not saying riding a horse gives you a concussion.

      even still, the amount of force of the impact to the head while doing a header is far more than what you experience while riding a horse.

        I’m sure it is. I never said, nor did I mean to imply, that it isn’t.
