We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Horses have played a huge role all of my life and have too in my family's life for several generations but they are tools and nothing more. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate a good horse and treat them well but to me they aren't pets nor are they majestic wild creatures...perhaps I'm just a bit more of a pragmatist than a romantic. I guess I see all domestic animals in the same light.
