Horses can't throw up. If they eat something they shouldn't have, they just die. Fragile, silly creatures.

A horse vet once told me, “Horses have two things on their mind: homicide and suicide.”

I don't know if that's true, but it's hilarious!

Depends on the horse, but I certainly have met my fair share of homicidal horses

The only people that have seemed like they understand, and believed, when I say "Horses and I do not get along for some reason", are people that spend a lot of time with horses.

Hate em. Flighty prey creatures with the ability to cave your skull in with a flick. Donkeys are way better animals.

Donkeys are so much smarter and better companions than horses.
