Oddly enough I like them both. Horses/dogs and motorcycles are pretty simple- feed them, take care of them, give them a home and they'll take care of you. Not at all like humans, where they'll randomly decide they hate you.

I've only ridden a horse a few times, and always with someone by my side to guide them. I had fun. They're powerful creatures though, so I was kind of intimidated.

Yes, I've ridden a horse on numerous occasions. We had them at Grandma's house and generally rode bareback.

My oldest sister still rides - dressage. So if I ride with her I have to use an English saddle. It takes some getting used to but I manage.

Dogs I'm fine with. Horses require special shit like their own house. Taking a horse somewhere is a pain in the dick too. Dogs are comparatively easy.

This. I like being in control; I don't trust horses.

No horse riding, but women riding has become a nice hobby of mine.
