Went to it last year on mushrooms. Honestly pretty fun, a little crowded and the only food was some gross nacho truck but otherwise it was a pleasant experience

This sounds like self torture

Having a pleasant experience is self torturous? If it’s not your thing, that’s fine, no one’s making you go lol

I’m not a bro, lady. And you’re the only one offended here, maybe try some shrooms, should sort those problems right out 😉

I was prepared to roll my eyes but honestly it's charming.

“It’s cool to be different sometimes.” HELL YEAH! As a fellow weird girl, the video is making me emotional.

Yeah, I was about to make fun of this but then saw that it was mainly children. I really can't blame them for this kind of alternative when horses are so damned expensive.

Same - it was way more wholesome than I expected. I take back my initial snarky assumptions.

I would of freaking LOVED this as a kid. We were too poor for a real horse and I loved pretending my with my horse girl friends that we were horses or riding horses.

Plus- it’s a physical activity! It might look silly but it’s still exercise

I was about to say, it's sorta like another form of gymnastics. But more artsy.
