This question is just for fun.
Has anyone out there ever owned/ridden/trained a Zebra? I know they are NOT horses, but they ARE equines.
I'm curious to hear what those who've had experience have to say!
I'd like to see a Zebra doing dressage.
I have 2 friends who both own zebras....the one friend owns 2 and they arent trained for anything other to eat and look pretty as he owns a zoo and they are part of his safari ride. It is nice they live in this BIG pasture with camels, ostriches, pigs, cows, antelope and such. Another friend has one and shared video of her attempting to ride him. They say they are difficult to train.
I've never ridden one, but there is a little farm up in Co. Mayo (Ireland) and they keep them for riding...strangest thing to see on a wet, windy Monday morning in rural Ireland tbh!
