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 👀

    How rough do you think riding a horse is?

    You aren’t going to get CTE unless you’re falling off the thing. Horse riding is a pretty gentle event even when at a full gallop.

      none of my horse-riding (or even carriage- or cart-riding) ever came close to being hit by an NFL lineman at full-speed or being on a bombing range.

      To be fair, you can get concussion symptoms from heading the ball too much in soccer. There doesn’t need to be NFL or boxing type violence involved.
