We had horses when I was young.  I don't particularly care for them , so I 
will be the one voice suggesting a couple of  negatives.  They are large 
animals with very small legs; and, they have incredibly finicky digestive 
systems, so they can cost you big with a vet. They can bite as well as kick 
and not all horses are smart.  It is one thing to have a stupid 12 pound dog; 
it is another to have a stubborn 1200 lb quarter horse.

 If you want a horse to ride occasionally, horse people always have horses 
that need riding, sometimes you hasve to pay, sometimes you  don't.
