Thanks a lot.
1. I appreciate your proofreading and editing my text. Please keep up the good job.
2. What about changing the verb "like" into "want" or "wish"? By using like here, I meant the speaker "enjoyed" doing that activity rather than "wanting" or "wishing" it. So, can it be as; When I was a kid I liked / enjoyed playing with my uncle's horse?

Yes, you can.
Note that "would like" is not the same as "like."

When I was a kid, I liked playing with my uncle's horse.

That refers to something you enjoyed at a specific time in the past.
