People tell me how great it must have been to ride horses and stuff. Well, do it for two days straight on dusty days when the cows and horses were really tired.

I rode horses since I was a kid.

Yeah, I'd been around horses most of my life.

When I was younger, we lived in a horse community.

When people chat to me about my childhood and getting into horses, they're like, 'Was it like the birds sang and the sun came out? Was it an amazing experience?' I'm like, 'No, it was rubbish. I was frightened. I was pretty unbalanced, and most ponies took advantage of me.'

I've always enjoyed being on a horse.

When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, 'cause I didn't stay long.

Stations were built at intervals averaging fifteen miles apart. A rider's route covered three stations, with an exchange of horses at each, so that he was expected at the beginning to cover close to forty-five miles - a good ride when one must average fifteen miles an hour.

My mum used to ride, and when she was mucking out, I always wanted to sit on a horse. And if she took me off, I'd scream my head off.

It would be hard to go to your neighbor and say the things people say on the Internet without getting punched out or having your tires slashed.
