Well, despite your lack of experience as a caballero and the potential for grievous bodily injury, this definitely sounds like one of those can’t-pass-it-up life experiences. And even if you do get mauled you’ll have a good story. But in all seriousness, at the very least you should, as others have mentioned, spend a little bit of time with the horse beforehand and let it get used to you; brush it a bit, feed it an apple, ask it about itself, show an interest. Don’t have your first encounter with the horse be hopping on its back thirty seconds before your entrance. And whatever you do, DON’T look it straight in the eye. They take that as a challenge, and you’ll be stomped to death instantly.* My own worst horse encounter was when I was about twelve or so. The horse started running and somehow I started to slip off sideways and ended up on the ground under the horse. That was about twenty-five years ago and I still remember it vividly. As it happened it felt like it was taking place in slow motion “Oh, hey, what’s this? Oh, wow, this isn’t good. Oh, dear, here I go! Hey, I don’t think I’m on the horse anymore…”. But, this won’t happen to you…. Have fun and be safe! *alright, I made that part up. Serious about the other stuff though.
