How many have or have had horses?

I'm just curious. It seems like most people on here have horses, or at some point did. I'm a player who started because I've never owned, or ridden a horse. I've probably pet a horse five times in my life. They are my favorite animal and always have been.

I've always wanted one, but make no where near the budget to have one. I've also never bothered trying to take lessons because horse riding has never really been an interest to me. On top of the fact lessons, as well as gear is expensive! No one I know owns horses either.
