I love horses, and if you don’t, then we can’t be friends, so don’t @ me.
Horseback Mountain is a pretty simple concept. It’s all about horses, and
horseback riding. It’s not one mountain, though, which I think is a little
weird, but I don’t really care, because I love horses. The first thing I did
when I heard about Castlebourne was access the prospectus, and look for a
place like this, and it was the first thing to come up. There’s another dome
that has ranchland, and a few other horse-inclusive environments, but this
is the one where that’s all there is. You can ride horses on a mountain (of
course), but there are other areas too. There are plains and prairies, muddy
trails, dirt roads, and even beaches. The ocean next to it isn’t real.
Curious, a member of one of my riding parties got off, jumped into the
water, and started swimming. He was still within yelling distance when he
reached the dome’s walls. A hologram makes it look much bigger than it is.
This isn’t a complaint, by the way; I really don’t care. The point is to
have a place for the horses to run, and the can’t run in deep water anyway.
If you want the ocean, go to one of the big ones on the poles. Now for the
big question. Are the horses real? The answer is...it’s your choice! There
are many real horses available, though they are in limited supply. It takes
a long time to grow an animal this large, and they have to be introduced to
their environment—and to people—using safe and ethical methods. I much
prefer a real horse, but the same can’t be said for everyone, which is why
there are other options. There’s more variety, though, than simply organic
versus automaton. Your horse can be programmed with whatever temperament or
personality you chose. We passed by a group of kids whose horses were fully
intelligent. There was only one adult with them. From what we could gather,
the horses were the children’s chaperones. They were keeping them in line
when they got too rowdy, and teaching them about nature, particularly
horses, as you can imagine. I believe the human adult was there in case
there was an emergency that required adult hands. I don’t know what kind of
intelligence she was, because she didn’t speak while we were passing by. I
just think that’s a cool little feature that I wouldn’t have thought of
myself. Before you ask, all kinds of equines are here, including donkeys and
mules, zebras, and a few other things. Yes, there are unicorns and
pegasuses. You cannot ride either of these things, because if they existed
in the real world, they wouldn’t let you, at least according to the
Castlebournian interpretation of the mythology. The pegasuses can’t fly. I
don’t know how they would without breaking any law of physics, but they have
wings, so they look cool. They’re supposed to be rare, but you can go on a
particular tour where you’re guaranteed to see what you’re looking for,
because they’re either programmed or trained to be in sight. I honestly
don’t know if they were mechanical or organic. I didn’t ask, because I don’t
care about mythological creatures. I’m a horse girl, and a purist. That’s
why I never want to leave. This isn’t a residential dome, but I’ve requested
that they make an exception, and build me a home to live in, so I don’t have
to take the vactrain here every day. I’m waiting for their response. Wish me
luck.
