Does riding a horse really hurt the buttocks and cause bruising there in the beginning of learning?

Asked by desiree333 (3219points) June 3rd, 2010

I am reading the novel Burned by Ellen Hopkins and the main character Pattyn learns to ride her Aunt’s horses. In the beginning her butt gets all bruised up ,and shes in some degree of pain. Does this really happen to people or is this girl really bad at riding?
