Riding on a donkey

In the story we read, Jackie Mitchell quit baseball when her exhibition games got uncomfortable for her.  In her last game, she had to throw the ball while sitting on a donkey.  This isn't an expression.  She was really riding a donkey, just like the lady in the next video.

Have you ever ridden a donkey?  Have you ever ridden an elephant?  Have you ever ridden a horse?  Write about it.
