Speak for yourself, or alter that for horses only. My cats only love me when I have their cat food handy.
As for horses, I was maybe 12'ish?? and I fed my first horse. I had been horse back riding for school, and we were not allowed to feed them (I was age 10 then), but the horse that I did feed, scared the hoohaa out of me a little bit. Have you ever noticed when your a child, how big a horses head really is when your standing up close? I think after the horse took the food, I was still shaking minutes later.
Good thing to get over that fear though, I have seen some people who could tell some really bad stories of trying to train horses (after rescuing them from bad owners) and the horse becomes very skeptical of anyone, and I have seen a chunk of someones back bitten from a horse - that I would not wish on anyone.
