Horses, knives and air guns? You have to tell us more!

I was a tomboy growing up (except for the usual girly thing of loving horses and ponies) and I carried on being a tomboy in a way, I like to look feminine but most of my intersts would be classed as stereotypically make I suppose.
The bite scar on my arm is from a particularly grumpy stallion used to look after, the argun pellet mark I got before I learned to be more careful who I go shooting with (I used to do a bit of pest control on the farm where I kept my horses) and the knife scar was from messing around (not a violent row) with my then boyfriend.
The chainring mark (almost faded now) was from being a bit too ambitious on a descent and me and the bike doing a cartwheel.
Happy days lol.
