How many of us have or ride horses?

[Bluetree]

I don't have a horse at the moment, but I work with Thoroughbreds on the SoCal racing circuit. Trainer-friends are always trying to give me horses who are retiring or are slowpokes. I will take some of them up on it as soon as I get a large enough property. I'm a sucker for a horse who likes his tongue pulled.

...horses think for themselves, and sometimes you wish they wouldn't.

I'm not sure I would use the word "thinking" sometimes. I once saw a $60 million colt (not a typo!) go beserk, break from his handlers and attack a wheelbarrow. Sheesh! My bike won't do that. Then again, my bike doesnt command a six-figure stud fee.

I rode a guy who was dressed like a horse... saddle, reins, etc... in a club last weekend.
Does that count?

Did you have to resort to the whip? And the stud fee? heh.
