I see a lot of back and forth on why we shouldn't have horses because we have pigs.
I'm not trying to start fight, I'm just pointing out why I personly think Horses will be better than pigs,
feel free to post your own opinions
Keep in mind that the Creator of Mo'Creatures was a HUGE part of making 1.6's horses, so I'm posting a list of things Mo'Creature's horses have that make them better than pigs.
1) 100% Keyboard control (pig is sometimes unresponsive)
2) Horse ALWAYS responds (sometime the pig won't respond to carrot on a stick)
3) No ____ on a stick to control them (yay)
4) way faster and easier to control (speed control, turning)
5) never ending ride (pig eats carrot)
6) You can controll the horse's jump (pig automaticaly does even if you don't want it to)
7) horses can jump over fenses. (I see protection loopholes)
8) horses turn easier (pig isn't very sensitve when you turn the carrot on a stick)
9) when you're idle on a horse the horse will stay still (Pig will move randomly, making it hard to try shooting a target, and getting off the pig leaves you right open, and the pig will possibly flee)
10) you can decide when your horse stops and speeds up. (pig won't slow down)
The advantages of pigs:
1) Nobody rides pigs. This is a trick of Minecraft.
2) No new dumb mobs.
3) They waist your carrot. This makes them harder to keep. Only players who have farms can afford it.
4) The astonishment when you find that you can ride a PIG is too great to .
5) All in all, I do think that it is impossible to make pigs wasd-controlled, jumping, faster, more obedient...
6) No ponies and no excessive cuteness.
7) Pigs are cute.
Come on, guys! Adding horses will ruin the freaking atmosphere of Minecraft!

So basically horses would exist to make pigs useless? Where's the balance? Pigs could've done all these things if Mojang wanted, but they didn't for some reason.
OP, all I can say is that you must be biased. We don't even know if horses will be like that in 1.6. and yet you insist that they are better than pigs. I am obliged to point out that that is in no way objective or logical. Good day sir.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the Universe is for, it will be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

Pigs droop meat ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm meat i love it!!!!
Cows do that, but drop more and drop leather. If you want to farm meat, cows are always the best option.
To be honest, Coming from a Pagan/Wiccan who also studies other religions, It seems even though this is just a game, some catholic people WILL NOT eat pig meat in game but will eat Cow and Chicken due to religious believes.
having my Wiccan believes, I love all animals and know they all have life and are sacred, but I will eat meat because you have to kill to live.
Plants are living things too.
Are all of you guys ed up in your minds? No one rides pigs use them for riding because controlling them is ed up! Horses are the best idea. I have been waiting for it since Jeb said something about it a year ago. But now I understand why Jeb never made it. It's all because of you stupid people who think pigs are better.

Why are there threads like this right now?!?!?!? There is NO information about horses out right now, NO indication if they will be useful or not, and NO news whatsoever on how Mojang plans on balancing them, because Mojang is not dumb enough to add a bunch of controversy for no reason. Have a little faith people! At least wait until you actually know something!

Thossssse are sssssome nice catsssss you have there.”Haha, I do have cats. You can’t come near me now!" HAHAHAHAH BOOOOOM!!! The only creeper in the world not afraid of cats just had to find you, didn’t it.
I think horses are a great idea. I think an idea is they might be harder to tame and harder to find. While pigs are good 'transportation', that doesn't mean they aren't also good food. Since cows are usable for milk as well as food, who's to say Pigs won't obtain a new mechanic as well? For example, pigs make a high tier food item, while providing transportation. Maybe as well as that, they can find mushrooms randomly? (Since pigs are used to find truffles) It's just an idea, but don't condone the idea of a horse. If you don't want one, you don't have to have one, while a lot of us are excited for them. If you wanna stick to riding around pigs and wasting a carrot for a minute of jolly riding, that's your call.
We will never need horses. We have enough ways for transportation. If you don't like pigs, then go mine some iron adn gold, and raft some tracks and 1 Minecart and you've a better way for transportation. And it's really easy to find stacks of gold and iron, so rails are way to cheap now. Hopefully the horses will only spawn in specific Bioms the're not called Plains or dessert, so I don't need to waste my Diamond sword for killing every horses, that's to near on my base.
The limitation with minecart travel is that it's difficult to quickly explore new areas,having to lay down track as you go.
(I believe it was notch who said he intended for minecart travel to be this way. Back when they were introduced, loading new chunks wasn't as efficient so rapidly traveling into new chunks would crash the game. This is also why we don't have airships.
For citation on these, listen to The Shaft's 100th episode.)
With Horses, going into new areas will be much faster, which I know I'll love because a large portion of my time is spent running in one direction looking for whatever. Plus, I like horses irl.
Saying "we will never need horses" is a terribly incorrect thing to say for both the reason stated above, and the fact that horses can be used aesthetically say having a ranch as part of an adventure map. Not only that, Horses will probably have some sort of drawback to counteract their benefits. (Maybe wild horses will kick you if you walk behind them?)
And as to the italicized statement, nobody's forcing you to use a diamond sword as opposed to some other one, and I predict Horses will spawn exclusively in plains, seeing as how horses are steppe animals (citation needed)

I use pigs for riding.You say that no one uses them. You suddenly lost an argument.
Minecraft, I think punching a tree down is inaccurate. Pretty much everything about minecraft is "inaccurate", but that's part of what makes it such an awesome game.
I don't really mind Horses for now, because I know nothing about them other than the fact that Mojang is adding them.

Yes but I never seen one person in multiplayer use it because they all use it for food. But if they add horses, people would not kill them instead they will use it for faster transportation and also unlike pigs you don't need to hold carrot on stick, you can hold anything. That means horses can also be used for battles.

That is my main argument in this whole thing. YES, FREAKING YES. THAT !

For battles ?!? Hell nope. You would be a living target. You are way easier to hit, would get stuck and MC is not THAT responsive sometimes when riding mounts. Plus, in melee, the height of the horse would impact your reach, rendering you defenseless (almost).

Hoses vs. Pigs? I haven't heard anything about hoses being added.You fixed it!Seriously now, pigs. More unique.

Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
Yet nah, i dont think that horse thing will be a good idea.

That is all.
Now the only thing that slabs are useful for is decoration.
Pigs droop meat ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm meat i love it!!!!
mhm
I'm not a brony, and it's not like the horses are going to be reinbow colored pooing pixie dust and fly around everywhere.

I'd rather have a mount that just doesn't totally blow then a "Unique" mount.
