Ultimate shoulder rides

Meeting you was a blast! Can't wait till next time.

Needless to say, thanks very much, for the shoulder rides, Ali.

ps: Ali, you are a true Energizer Bunny - you just keep going and going and going and going...(on and on with the shoulder rides)....Awesome!

I love hearing about these meet-ups! Ali, you are having too much fun. and it is great that three of you were able to meet in the US.

Shouldertaxi! That's very sad news. Best wishes for a fast and full recovery.

You have been one of the most active carriers, and one who pushed boundaries, a bit of a 'super pony'. Did this rider really bounce only on your left shoulder? (or both, sitting normally, but only the left shoulder was injured?)
It is easy for us carriers to feel invincible. unless something happens.

I had meet this Munich guy many times, and he always like to bounce! Funny is that I like to be bounced, and had no problem with it, even on one shoulder! Only normal tired feeling in my body, but after a few days, back to normal again! I ended my "gym" (my work!) for a year ago, and had lost some strenghe in my upper body/arms. That could be the reason to this wound! If I recover, I had to carry smaller guys/girls then now! Max my own weight. And only shoulder rides!! Ali, thanks for wishes

Just to confirm that I rode Ali2121 last Saturday, just two days after he'd got back from Washington DC. He gave me several rides in the afternoon after he and I had a rather large steak lunch at ye olde New Forest pub... that pub is older than Ali (400 years old). That's the pub, not Ali!

I prefer to ride Ali2121 gently. To get on his shoulders, I stand on a convenient fallen tree truck and just slip astride his shoulders. The sensation of mounting him feels great. I just sit there and let him take my whole weight. He's really good. He's a fully trained and very obedient pony. He's a strong carrier. He walks carefully and diligently, which means that I can enjoy the most fantastic shoulder rides as he walks among the trees out in the forest. Sometimes I ride him with my feet tucked in behind his ribs. And sometimes I like to ride him with my legs hanging loose at his sides for more sensation in my crotch. Yes, I know I'm lucky to have such a good pony, Ali's in a class of his own. That's grade 1, five stars! I'd rather ride Ali than a real pony!

Your a lucky guy! I wish a rider like you when I´m back again! A nearby rider most be the best for both the rider and the pony! If I had one, I had been trained good, and not get hurt! Wish you both a lot of years of good rides!!

Hope you recover and get fully fit soon, shouldertaxi. You're one 'taxi' I'd like to take a ride with/on! I'm 70kg so probably just the right weight for you. When you recover, you are welcome to come over to England for a few days and you can stay at my place and I can take you out in the New Forest and ride you. There are lots of real wild ponies there (the 4-legged variety) so you should feel 'at home!'

Would be great to be your pony!! Share you with Ali. Near Southampton, I think. I´m intrest in Titanic, so it is good city for touristing. Hope I´m soon back for carry again, and 70 kg sounds good to start with!
