I used to live on a horse ranch, and honestly, it made me dislike horses in general. There were a few that were enjoyable to be around (the draft horses, despite being the biggest, were genuinely friendly), but the bulk were just plain jerks. What really surprised me was how friendly and fun the donkeys were. The one that did coyote patrol for the emus always made hilarious happy-donkey sounds whenever he saw me walk the fence line, and it was nice to be able to work in his paddock and have a buddy to hang out with instead of a sneak horse-nip while you're focused on something else.
