I learned that they have aggressive temperaments paired with an extreme panic response, which makes them nearly impossible to tame.
Three other girls from my cohort and I went horseback riding, and it was a cool experience. I loved petting all the horses before we started riding on the trail more than riding. I think that was partly because I was allergic to the pants I was wearing, so I was really uncomfortable being seated for that long. I also didn't know how to stop myself from bouncing so much when that horse would begin galloping.
