Don't ph33r the horses.
While returning home from a club one night I came upon a field of horses. I'm usually a little wary of our equine chums but, being completely wasted, I decided to try to ride one of them -- bareback.
The horse actually moved closer to the dry stone wall I was perched on and seemed to help me get balanced.
I actually rode the horse across the field, directing it by slightly nudging its head.
The only times I had tried to ride a horse previous to that they were lead and I was on a proper saddle -- because I couldn't get the hang of it.
I think the trick with horses is to try and understand them, rather than trying to make them do anything or simply standing there.
