Oh yes I know your not all Yankees - however, for the purposes of my Friends and my having a friendly dig at each other via email, it helped to be totally unPC and call her an F**Y... or shortened to FY and I got the same back ten fold from her all the time, or I get rather. The F does not stand for Friendly but i think you know that, that was the word that required pm to let you know what it is....
As for horses or ponies, I rode a horse once when I was about ten, I was taken out supervised with another rider, who was only 16 or so, who promptly gallopped off, leaving me behind, my horse followed, jumped a fence into a field and guess where I landed up? Yep on my ***** ouch, I remember it to this day.
When I was about 5, my Father took me to a Country Fair where they had lovely Cart Horses, I was told I could pet the Horse because they were friendly, I proceeded to do so only to get a bite on the side of my arm, which I also Remember how much that hurt and how angry my Dad was, so today, I ride neither a pony nor a horse and I am sorry to say, I found out in my mid thirties, when walking near a horse, that I had develeoped a bit of a fear/phobia of horses, such a shame because what beautiful beasts they are.
Oh and used to ride a donkey on the good old English beeches when I was little, led around with other eager kids in a line up and down the beech.
Take care all Epic Sue
