#It's forbidden to ride an animal on Shabbat. <ref> The Mishna in Betzah 36b writes that the Rabbinical Gezerot of Shabbat also applies to Yom Tov and includes on the list the prohibition of riding an animal on Shabbat. The Gemara explains that the logic of the Gezerah is that the Rabbis were concerned that a person riding an animal might come to pull a branch off a tree to use as a whip. Bet Yosef 305:18 quotes the Rosh in name of the Yerushalmi that says that riding an animal on Shabbat is forbidden because of Shevitat Behemto. </ref> | #It's forbidden to ride an animal on Shabbat. <ref> The Mishna in Betzah 36b writes that the Rabbinical Gezerot of Shabbat also applies to Yom Tov and includes on the list the prohibition of riding an animal on Shabbat.
