    Yes my parents have a horse ranch. I grew up raising them.

    Yes, one time. The horse got all wild on me, as well as other horses in the group. I calmly jumped off. The instructors yelled at me to stay on. I wasn't having any of that. My choice was justified after one of the other people who choose to brave another horse going wild had to deal with hanging on for dear life as the horse was sprinting at full speed. The person eventually bailed, and all was well. No injuries for any person or horses.

    As a kid, I tried to ride my dog like a horse. It didn't work.

    It's been a few years since I've been on a horse but, aside from being scared on a pony as a child, I've never had a bad experience.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    My mom used to take me horseback riding all the time when I was a kid... but I don't remember much of it sadly.

    I remember riding a camel on a beach once.

    I've never ridden a horse, nor do I intend to, but if one day an opportunity arises to ride one without much hassle, I would not be opposed to giving it a go.

    I did when I was a child, but it depressed me because the horse's back was all smurfed up from having fat people on it. This was a first reminder to me that people have no consideration for animals and the second reminder was going to the circus for the first time, which I hated. Never rid a horse ever since.

    Never really had any desire to do so. Just isn't something I care much about.

    However, it's possible that my vote was a lie as I did grow up in New Zealand and did have family who had farms, so it's very possible I have and simply don't remember.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!
