Horse

great animal to have if ya know how to ride & can afford to take care of him

I've always wanted a horse.

I wouldn't want one as a pet but I do go horseback riding and I still love horses. First of all yes you really need a lot of space and time and extensive knowledge about their hoofs, what to feed them and all of their illnesses and especially their GIT. They get sick so easily, if they have grass that is more lush than they are used to they get Laminitis which will lead to their coffin bone rotating, and if you don't catch it in time they founder and the bone punctures through the hoof. So many things we give our horses like Vitamins and all that extra hoof care stuff they don't need and they just pee it out. I recommend taking Equine Science courses to enlighten yourself they just get sick and injured so easily. It is in your best interest and in the horses to learn about them before getting one. I used to want one since I was little but I took the courses and now it's just kind of like....yea no way not anymore. So if you have the money and space then they will make great pets. ...

If you have the time and space

another animal that requires a lot of time and attention but terrific pets

En vull un!!!

TOO MUCH WORK!

other then they cost a lot

Love 'em but they take a lot of work and money!

awesomeness

they take a crap everywhere!

Wish I had a ranch with tons of horses, dogs and cats! :)

Id love one. A little work tho.

now your talking!

ooo...ponies! I rode horses for a long time growing up, and I <3 them despite how horrifically impractical it would be to have one. I recommend leasing or training them for other people for anyone younger whose parents are practical enough not to buy one for their horse-crazy daughter.

yea...i wish!

now y ride a horse?..... i know some thing bettr.....lol

Different strokes for different folks.

WITH GAS PRICES I SEE THEM MAKING A BIG COMEBACK!!

I believe this animal would have been a perfect specimen to have used for transportation before the invention of the car. I wonder why nobody thought of that?

Big. Expensive. Large turds. Won't fetch. Can't take it on the subway if a vet visit is in order. Kinda below average for me.  (Okay, you can ride it- that bumps it up one star.)

way too expensive! LOL

Big upkeep, big turds as CS pointed out, not to mention that they are bitchy little things sometimes. I stay away from them and have yet to ride one.

lots of work

Fun and fun to look at, it doesn't get better.

awesomely awesome

A HORSE OF COURSE

lot of work

I love horses to. Of course I haven't been on one since I was real little. But I do love them.

they would be thee second best!

i have only had 1 of these and i used to LOVE it!!

I have a horse!!! yes yes yes yes

strong animal

I think this would be a good pet but only if you have alot of time on your hands for them.

that would be cool if someone else took care of them

imtelligent and interesting and completely able to ignore you

hard work, very smart...

NEVER HAD ONE ALWAYS WANTED ONE

I always thought they were gorgeous animals. I've been riding them since I was a kid & I still love to go horseback riding.
