What is it about horses?

They cost a shitload to maintain so I assume you wouldn’t own them just cause

Dude, it's like a dog you can ride around

But they don’t play fetch.

A wise man once said that horse girls are just crazy cat ladies with money

When you tell women in a bar that you have horses, their panties start to slip down. When you take out your phone and show them pictures of you and you horses, their panties fall right off.

Depends. Most guys in my sport are gay

My house backs up to a horse farm. I saw a guy walking in the field while I was in the yard working and I was talking to him. His daughter is an Equestrian. He said "the only people making money on horses are racehorse owners and people who own boarding farms".

Had horses growing up. Alot of our life was catered to those things. Mornings, weekends, evenings we were either feeding, brushing, riding, training, etc. Had alot of fun and it taught work ethic, responsibility, persistence and dedication. Horses can have a very soothing and therapeutic effect. Its a very powerful animal but they can have a puppy-like personality and grow attached to their humans just like dogs and my dad had an emotional attachment to his horses as if they were people. He was a tough man but those horses were a soft spot for sure.

That being said, they are a ton of work and money. He got rid of them once we all were out of the house as it was too much for him to handle by himself.

Thats all I got.

Most of the time neither of those are true statements. Some racehorse owners make money but they are also supporting a big stable with maybe 1 or 2 stars. Boarding barns are usually a labor of love and lucky to make a profit (except the super spendy fancy ones that winter in Florida). Especially with the cost of feed and hay skyrocketing in the past year. That’s only going to get worse, too.

For real though, it’s the military and service aspect we’ve had with them for so long. Horses allowed people to traverse the great grass sea, allowed us to herd, conquer, move, transport, build.

Perhaps more than any other animal, the horse is responsible for the advancements of civilization.


We even have measurement systems involving horses. They are a special animal
