• Poll Results: Do You Like Equines IRL?

    by
    I honestly never liked horses or ponies, and I still don't. These ponies don't really look like their real counterparts at all, which is probably why I like the show so much.

      I think real horses are ugly and fat.

      Everytime I see real horses or something about real ponies they remind me everytime about MLP.

      growin up on a farm you depend on a lot of animals, and the horse is probably the most dependable next to the dog. the only reason i don't like horse is because of the raceing verity

      Moreso than the "Yes" or "No" votes I wonder about the people who saw a question about whether they like horses and responded "It's complicated."

      I like horses. I used to be terrified of them when I was little, cause I had an accident when I was riding one. But time past and I actually started to like them and grow a connection to one. And ever since I discovered this show. I gave more appreciation to them then I ever did before.

      All through elementary school, and until 7th grade, my mother worked on a horse farm, were people would bring horses that were getting too old to keep doing whatever they'd been doing, or where various agencies would send horses rescued from harsh lifestyles, like abused racing horses and the type. I would be there a lot, with my mom picking me up from school and then going back there to finish her day at work, so I did manage to grow up around a lot of horses. I never really felt any real like or dislike towards them, but they were cool enough to see, especially when they'd have draft horses that were over 9 feet tall.

      Other it is.

      Nah, not really. They're majestic, and although I can't picture myself having one, I respect them.

      I used to own an old horse that we treated like a dog. Run out and pet it, give it food, run around with it, etc. Saved it from becoming dogfood since she was old. Sad day when she finally broke her leg and we had to put her down.

      I worked on a farm through high school. The horses were probably the easiest (and least messy/smelly/HURR DURR I'M A HUGE ANIMAL I'M GONNA WALK INTO YOU) to deal with so they've always had a bit of a soft spot in my heart. Probably would have been a bit more enjoyable if they were like Faust's horses though.

      Wooow, I'm pretty surprised that "No" won, especially considering how popular horses/ponies are in general. O.o I said yes, of course. I'm an insane animal lover. I love what few others love and can find the cuteness in just about anything you show me. But horses? Yeah. I've ridden, and I like to be around them; I generally think they're fabulous. Even have a book about 'em. My rural weekend home is surrounded, too...heck, at one point I was considering 'Communications in the Equine Industry' as a college major. O.o

      Of course, dogs are my favorite animals far and away. Followed by fishes and other sea creatures. I adore cats as well. True, the new ponies don't look like real ponies. Maybe they remind me of dogs and that's part of my reason for loving this show so much. At any rate, they're ponylike *enough* for me. I just absolutely adore the style and character designs.

      Equines are pretty much the creatures that helped humans become what we are today. If we never trained them, we wouldn't have traveled nearly as far, we wouldn't have been able to make some of the most critical early advancements, and vast aspects of our society would be different without them. Hell yes I love equines, they pretty much made us.

      They're also stupid inexplicably emotionally weak animals that get scared by their own shadow for no apparent reason who are worshiped by parts of the female population for some strange reason.

      I like equines... horses and ponies (not to mention donkeys and mules) are a LOT smarter and more personable than most people give them credit for. And the smallest ones (miniature horses and small ponies) are so smart, some people are training them to be service animals since they live longer than dogs, and can ALSO be house trained! (Regular horses and ponies are probably also house-trainable, but not many people want a full size horse walking around in their house...)

      I'd just like to note that I hate horses, HATE them, with every fiber of my being, as they say.

      Hate!!! That's three exclamation points, people.

      I've painted their stupid fences with their special stupid paint and fed them their stupid oats and carried their stupid hay and what do they do? Sit there and look dumb and take up acres and acres of otherwise usable space with their freakin grass, that's what! And they're total jerks, too! Those friggin things will kill you if you give them half a chance, just for the fun of it. They don't care. They don't care.

      ={ One of my best friends (a guy) dislikes horses...thinks they're terrifying. I don't get it. I've never been afraid of them, ever. Aside from being majestic and intelligent and symbolic of so many things and all of that, as someone pointed out--where would human civilization be without equines? We all owe so very, very much to animals, particularly the horse and the dog.

      I've liked horses for decades. I did ride one once, but I would not go out of my way to ride a horse. I cater to the Przewalski horses at work. They may be "wild" but they're very friendly, especially the old mare. They smell great, the youngsters are nippy and pushy and generally fun to be with.

I like them because they are have always been there as trusty steeds for us humans when we wanted to go somewhere, and if you put armor on it its pretty cool but I dont like that they poop...
