As did my uncle, so as a kid, I was always surrounded by horses. And I rode a lot. My mother and father rode horses since they could remember, and were eager to get my brother and I in on it. I took to it much more quickly than my brother did (he doesn't enjoy horses much, even now). My grandpa passed away a few years ago, and his horses were sold, and my uncle moved into the city, so it's very rare when I get to go riding. But I jump at any chance.
Like skilly said, it's very calming. Nothing but you, the horse and the wind, as hokey as that may sound.
