Horses are weird. A large dog that's also a car? That doesn't sound right.
@Livingmarble And why not? There are Catbuses, after all.
@Livingmarble @andypiper — That also is sufficiently self-aware that its capable of doing what it damn well pleases, but does what you want it to do because it’s your friend rather than your staff
@Livingmarble Then there are Whippets, which when you think about it, are really Pleistocene horses.
@Livingmarble my dog sleeps beside me. My Horse doesn't fit in the bed.
@Livingmarble @annika This made me legit laugh out loud.
@Livingmarble Just think of them as uncomfortable walking leather sofas
@Livingmarble I have heard them described as "sofas with anxiety"
@Livingmarble My brother-in-law had a horse that was very much like a dog. Very friendly and would follow him around.
@Livingmarble “ horses: dangerous on both ends and crafty in the middle.” Sherlock Holmes
@Livingmarble @jacob my favorite horse/car story is that when the king of Bhutan got his first car (I believe this was the father of the current king?), his subjects didn’t know what to do, so they continued to set out hay and water for it, as was the custom for the king’s horse.
@Livingmarble sometimes it can also be a dragon.

@Livingmarble

I keep on waiting for horses to get sick of our shit

and seriously, when that happens watch *out*

@Livingmarble That you have to clean up after like a cat. They really are the total package.
@Livingmarble I haven't seen mentioned a most obvious quality, and that is that they are selfie hogs. Witness my horse in my profile photo. That's not how it was meant to be posed.
@Livingmarble I’ve been riding horses all my life and this is the most accurate and succinct description I’ve come across.

@Livingmarble
I don't think most dogs actually want to kill us, but every horse I've encountered is like "lol it would be hilarious if you got seriously injured and maybe died."

Which, like, okay, I'd probably do the same if people kept jumping on me demanding I carry them somewhere, but still

@Livingmarble in a western Canada indigineous language a horse is an elk dog
