Quote:i rode on a horse with a saddle and was very sore after a few hours how were the romans able to charge into battle?
how did they control the horse and not fall off?
would riding back then be extremeyl uncomfortable???

Roman horses were the size of modern ponies, weren't they ? So it probably isn't as dangerous or scary given that they're MUCH shorter I would think.

I'm going to begin riding lessons soon, so I'll find out for myself.
