Perhaps the OP would share his answers with us.
That is very nice of you to ask Mad Hatter and welcome to the forum.

I very much enjoy the rush,but really am in it for the relaxation and companionship of the horses.
I enjoy the training of myself and the horse and just love the challenge of the neglected horse that someone did not give a chance.
I feel safe most of the time,but the 3yo's can change your mind in a second and remind you that you are a mortal.
I love the babies and working with them and ALWAYS feel very safe.
I feel very safe on the ground with a biting,kicking,or rearing horse when it happens and not as safe when I am on their back and they are bucking.
The bucking horses have taught me a lot of very good lessons and I try to approach most of the problems with as much humor as I can.

I think my favorite part is more on the quiet side now and when I am in the herd with them,but I do have a couple of mares that get real proud after they beat up on a cow and I really enjoy their attitude beyond words.
They are such braggers and showoffs.

I just feel enriched by all of them.
