I had a Welsh pony for a while when I was a kid.
Unfortunately, I never developed a taste for riding.
Could've had something to do with the pony deciding it would be a good idea to brush that little burden off his back on a low-branched tree...

...more than once.

We had horses when I was younger.. sold the last of them when I was... 21? when my parents moved from our farm in MO.

A couple of times. They are alot of fun, but they are alot of work to keep and only one HP. So bikes are definitely more to my liking, being raised up in a garage mechanicing on things makes it not much to keep and maintain a bike.

I'm in between the once or twice and many many times. I prefer a 200-800lb machine that does exactly what it's told to do over a 1500lb animal that does what IT wants to do I dont dislike horses, I just like bikes a lot better!

Yes....a handful of times.

It's not for me, though....the brain size to animal size/power ratio is all wrong, IMHO. A powerful 1,500 pound animal with a brain the size of my fist CANNOT be trusted.

many times - I have a broken nose and some broken ribs as a remembrance of the years of fun... I do love horses but they are just too much work for me to ever consider owning one.
