I know blind people who can and do ride horses. Hey, I wouldn't attempt it, especially by myself, but I have ridden with sighted help.

Nono, I'm not saying it's not possible, it's possible but with limitations.

Well, you put it in the same context as driving, and that's definitely not possible as a blind person. I don't think I'd even trust a self-driving car.

There is nothing particular to like or enjoy. It's simply the life for me, since I was blind since birth. As for hating, I don't hate the fact that I am blind, because I don't know how it feels to be sighted, but I hat when I am forced into a situation where my blindness is an obvious barrier. Hate is perhaps a strong word, but I definitely dislike it greatly.

Riding horses is actually way safer for a blind person than riding a bicycle. A horse is a living animal, it won't stray to somewhere where its own life is in danger. Horses are not stupid.

I agree totally, though I did ride a bike for quite awhile. I only got one or two minor injuries. I got zero injuries on a horse, so yeah.

Did you do drive a bicycle or horseriding? Share your experience!

When I was much younger I rode a bike. I stayed on the sidewalk where I was really familiar with various landmarks. My judgment was really good too. I could tell how far I was away from obstacles and my reaction time was quite good.

I've also ridden horses, but I've never attempted that without sighted help.

Describing my two injuries from bike riding is probably beyond the scope of this topic, as is this post most likely.

I did both, but I felt much safer on the back of a horse. I trusted the animal's instincts far more than my own poorer ones. :D
Alas, there are very few horses where I live now, and they belong almost exclusively to local Gypsies.

Hi. Well, I don't mind being blind. Otherwize, I wasn't able to play guitar or read brail. I should also add that I wouldn't be able to skate. But I enjoy being blind, that happened when I was born.

Why would you not be able to play guitar if you were not blind? Or read Braille, for that matter?

No, I ment I woulden't have been able to read it. And as for guitar I could do it, but I would be just starting out.
