My earliest horse was a 50-gallon oil drum with two ridges around it.  There 
was just the right amount of space between those ridges to put a pad, tie it 
on with a rope, and RIDE!  I remember dreaming horses at age 4 (but I'm sure 
it started earlier) but wasn't able to have one until I was 12.  I haven't 
been without one since then.
