Wow, if I told you everything I know about horses, I'd be sat here typing for days!
What I do know for certain though, is that I will NEVER know enough, and that "The horse doesn't care how much you know, until he knows how much you care" (a direct quote from Pat Parelli, check out this link: http://www.parelli.com/ ).
There are also some great programmes, all about horses, available to view on line if you click this link: http://www.horseandcountry.tv/
Keep that passion for horses! I've had it since I was a small child and it's got me through some of the toughest times in my life...

You can be around horses all your life and not know every thing. I would suggest you find some good books to read on horses. I worked at a barn for 4 years (while I was in college) and have 2 horses of my own and still I am learning things. Like how to get metal wire out of a horse's tail with out cutting all the hair off (Red where did you get that and how did you get it in your tail!!!) Plus with horse you will have no money, because when you get some it goes to the horses.
As for a safety tip remember that they are bigger then you and it hurts when they step on you foot, so remember to always wear boots around them. (learned the hard way)
Horses are great, so keep with it.

If you;ve ridden for a year you have the general idea about horses.So my thoughts to you is always stay safe with your horse. Never put you or your horse in a postion that may not be safe . Say ...cause your friends are doing it.Horses are so much fun I too love them. And ive rode for 38 yrs and i still have horses. But over the years ive had a few broken bones because i didnt ride safely. And ive known people who got hurt and never rode again. Enjoy your horse !!! and use good common sense ..

This could mean I would be writing books to you.
If a horse is treated well, they are very passionate creatures. They, like you, want to be treated with dignity. If they belong to you, they want you to care for them (feed them, tend to them when they are sick, bathe them, brush them, trim their hooves properly when necessary, give them their injections so they stay healthy, get them plenty of exercise and so on),
Riding a horse is not necessary. Most people own horses because they like to ride them. I don't find a need to ride like many people. I have fun watching them enjoy themselves and how they interact with one another.
