Yes you can ride a common ostrich. In fact many people do! The ostrich is a docile creature that is surprisingly easy to tame and train.
There are a few things to keep in mind when riding an ostrich however. First they are very tall creatures and can be intimidating to small children or those who are afraid of heights. It is important to be gentle and calm when getting on and off the ostrich and to make sure that everyone around is aware of what you are doing.
Second because of their height it is easy for an ostrich to get spooked and start running. If this happens it can be difficult to stop the ostrich and you may end up going for an unexpected ride. Again it is important to be calm and gentle with the ostrich and to have a firm grip on the reins.
Lastly ostrich riding can be a bumpy ride. Their legs are long and their strides are powerful so you may feel like you are being jostled around a bit. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride!
