I have been on horses my entire life.. been kicked, bucked, fallen on, reared over backwards, you name it.. BUT, some of the most enjoyment of my life has been on a horse.. Love that part on guided hunts in foreign countries..

Many of my friends I hunt with are horrible at riding a horse.. the last trip I was on, my buddy was thrown 3 times by the time we got to the main camp.. The next day he said it was his horse..so we switched horses.. not 100 yards out of camp he got thrown again

.. I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants..

My kids are becoming extremely good at riding them.. I do think the younger you are when learning the better.. kinda like most things in life..

Horses are freakishly powerful.. best to learn all the levers before going into full operation..
