Why do people like horses so much?

Dis · July 30, 2003, 03:31

You know this movie sea biscuit. What's the deal? isn't horse racing inhumane or something? And people love all kinds of horses not just race horses. Maybe because I grew up in the younger culture with no money to ride a horse, let alone own one- I just can't relate.

I don't particularly

I eman they are nice and all, but I usually find that they smell and they can't really sit in my lap

People find horses sexy, as horse porn's domination of the bestiality film industry amply proves. Seems folks just find those tall, sleek and massively hung animals to be irresistable. ****ing weirdos.

Yankee heathens.

Horses are ugly and smelly. They also frequently take the virginity of pre-teen rich girls.

Yeah, those poor jockeys.

My neighbour owns a horse. One of my work colleagues in my last job owned a horse. Both of them do/did this to indulge themselves in the way insecure women do. By that I mean the mindset of "look at how much I am spending on this, I can afford to do this so I must be a special person". The neighbour goes to race meetings for the same reason.

People like horses in a general sense for cultural reasons, presumbly linked to myths about opening up the west and the plains indians in the US and military tradition and agriculture in europe. Otherwise people have different personal reasons for liking or being involved with horses, sometimes economic like the racing industry, sometimes personal inadequacy.

Horses come in handy when there's a mad cow disease outbreak. They're tasty.
Unless you're trying to eat one of his DL s.

This thread disturbs me on so many levels.

st_swithin · July 30, 2003, 07:21

mmm... boeuf de cheval....mmmm

Dis · July 30, 2003, 13:32

get ready to be more disturbed.

Why would women like a well hung horse? It's commonly known that horses can only have sex for about 3 seconds on average. What good is being well hung if you can't go for at least 30 minutes?

Sava · July 30, 2003, 13:33

horse racing is stupid... that movie is stupid... and horses are stupid....

there I said it...

Az · July 30, 2003, 14:22

Horses are GREAT. we wouldn't be chatting today, if it weren't for horses. and dogs as well, for that matter.

SlowwHand · July 30, 2003, 15:04

Horses are smarter, nicer, and better than most people.
Why would anyone NOT like them ?

Az · July 30, 2003, 15:09

they're not smarter, but I can believe the rest of it.

GePap · July 30, 2003, 15:09

Jealousy, at the "well hung" bit.

st_swithin · July 30, 2003, 15:09

And why did Tobey Maguire get to be on top? What a MONUMENTAL FVCKING LOSER!

As far as I'm concerned, Tobey shoulda been the stable boy. Or maybe a horseshoe.

I could run down a list of reasons why you're wrong, but will simplify.
Look around you.

Wernazuma III · July 30, 2003, 15:21

I know why the christian society had invented a special way to sit on the horse for women.

Gibsie · July 30, 2003, 15:26

Watch Cruel Intentions 2 for your answer.

*waits for the first horse to arrive in thread and post*

Japher · July 30, 2003, 15:39

I don't like horses, paste tastes funny.

I like them little horse that look like dogs though, and the big horses that pull the Budweiser wagon... Mainly, though, I just like the beer.

Ecthy · July 30, 2003, 15:41

and I don't like horse meat. some people eat that.

st_swithin · July 30, 2003, 17:12

Fvckin' frogs. They'll eat ANYTHING with more common sense than they have.

Ramo · July 30, 2003, 17:18

Why the hell did someone decide to name a horse "Seabiscuit"? That's just about the lamest name for a horse I've ever heard.

Kramerman · July 30, 2003, 18:45

horses are awesome

I really gained appreciation for them when I saw a car commercial many years ago

. It had this car going real fast in some desert flat ( ithink it was a mustang) and it showed a greyish silvery horse running a full gallop beside it... while it was running you could see its great muscles rippling beneath its skin and main waving in the wind.... it was majestic. They are truly very powerful and beautiful creatures, and we would not be where we are today without them

Oerdin · July 30, 2003, 18:53

Ahhh yes. The old college frat parties. How they truly advanced the condition of humanity.

:) Smiley · July 30, 2003, 20:03

I've seen vomit smilies on other boards before. Anyway, where's Alexander's Horse?

Dis · July 31, 2003, 02:40

hmm that is truelly disturbing porn. :vomit:

but like I said, horses only last 3 seconds on average.

I should add that I learned that horses are social creatures. I really didn't know that. They really respond when you pet their faces (above the nose below the eyes). Probably not as social as dogs, but still fairly social.

So that is one big reason why horses are popular.

st_swithin · August 1, 2003, 00:07

That, and they have bigger drumsticks.
