I don't think I've ever been on a horse. Perhaps when I was so young that I can't even remember, I might have sat momentarily on one? But I don't -think- so.
To be honest, though the idea of riding a horse sounds interesting, I am very wary of trying it. I'd hate to lose control and the horse go charging off and I panic, etc... I'd only try it if it was a very short trot where somebody else was walking the horse around slowly, so I would feel all is steady and safe enough.
I have, however, ridden on a camel quite some years ago in Cyprus, and last year I rode on a donkey through a town in Rhodes.
