Currently world netball federation currently has over 70 member countries…
This from their site- World Netball is responsible for Netball across the Globe with currently seventy-six (76) Members, fifty-five (54) Full Members and Twenty Two (22) Associate Members*

Used to own horses back in NZ and my sister still does plus a mini horse. It's actually quite fun pretending to be in control of something that at the end of the day does what it wants and your just a passenger. Does hurt when they decide to throw you into a tree though.
