Maybe horses will have their own unique drop, And maybe horses will be balanced because you may need to replace their horseshoes.
We can't say we like it or hate it until it's in the game.
Horse meat? Horse bones? Horse leather? How will Jeb think of a UNIQUE drop for this animal?
If its food, we got pigs, cows and chickens.
If its leather, cows.
If its bones, skeletons and temples
If its eyes, we got spiders.
If its some sort of horse insides, we got zombies.
If its just exp, we got bats.
If its some sort of new weapon, we got crafting tables.
If its something wierd like a magic staff, what?

Its not your personality who makes you who you are, its your DNA.
Guys, stop talking about this "redundant" non-sense. There are a lot of redundant things in minecraft:
Trees. There are four types of trees. Why have 4 kinds? They all have wood/leaves. They all make wood plants. No need for different color wood either. Its all just wood. Whats the need for all these types of trees?
Coal. We all know and love coal, but what about charcoal? They do the same thing. Why have both?
Villages. When I mean this, I'm talking about the sandstone/regular villages. Why have the different kinds? They have the same things. No need for both (same with temples)
Discs: They are all disks. They play music. Since they all play music, why have more then 1?
Well I hope you enjoyed the above topics. Do you know what they all have in common? THEY ARE ALL USED FOR VARIETY!!! We don't need all of those different woods ect, but it makes the game have more variety. YOU decided what you want to use. coal or charcoal. Oak wood or spruce wood. The disc stal or 13.
Same with horses and pigs. They are mounts. People can choose what they want. Why not rant about different wood and only about horses and pigs? We don't even know if horses will have an advantage over pigs. Please stop whining until the snapshot comes out. YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'LL LIKE IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT!!

Coal. We all know and love coal, but what about charcoal? They do the same thing. Why have both? {{For people that do not find coal in the first night. After that I don't think anyone uses it really.}}
Villages. When I mean this, I'm talking about the sandstone/regular villages. Why have the different kinds? They have the same things. No need for both (same with temples) {{They have exactly the same loot. Their differences are merely cosmetic. Which probably won't be with horses and pigs.}}

I also would like to add that MOBS are not the same as BLOCKS. You don't use Zombies to build with.
Just my thought. First alot of people suggest it, then it finally gets added. Then comes the ranting. I just don't- wat.
Wait my friend. Wait a second. I did not wabt horses. Not at all. I was maybe not always afainst them but I did not want them in the game. Same with 99% of the other "whiners".

Would you like to know the atomic structure of a piece of bread?
The people that suggest something != people that whine about said feature when it becomes part of the game. Generally, they're exclusive lol. From my own observations, I think people who are feeling very unhappy about something are more likely to go out of their way to voice their complaints because they feel strongly about it. Sort of like the saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."
In any case, horses? For my own hopeless romantic tendencies, I say hell yes. After all, I always wanted to be that knight in shining armor gallivanting about the plains with my trusty diamond sword in hand.
Pig riding was/is a novelty thing to me. It's unwieldy and more annoying than just run-jumping my way to my destination. Whatever "charm" and uniqueness it had, wore off quick. I never saw them as a viable type of transportation -- I'd rather walk/run or use minecarts.
Anyway, with no snapshot out, can't really complain about horses just yet (yet it seems some people are anyways). After all, this is all just assumptions and speculation. We don't know how Mojang is going to handle horses, how they're going to be balanced, what they're going to drop (if anything). I sure as heck would put my faith in Mojang to do right by Minecraft anyways.
It's their job to develop for Minecraft; they're not changing things "just for teh lulz" and so they probably put a lot of thought into it.
I also would like to add that MOBS are not the same as BLOCKS. You don't use Zombies to build with.
Here is an example, I can make a zoo with more mob types even though they are all the same in terms of functionality. I can also open a pet shop, or a racing arena with different types of ridable mobs, etc etc [: So many things to do when there is only 1 thing added! <3 Minecraft

I have the feeling that horses will have similar problems. That is one of the reasons I am complaining.
You do have a point though.

Lol, there are always drama queens no matter what gets changed or added to Minecraft. For example, Wolves, hunger, squid, villages, alchemy, enchantments, emerald, Nether strongholds, endermen, the end, the ender dragon, jungles, cocoa beans, ocelots, the wither, etc. People are probably mad because it'll "ruin" their "nostalgic view" of Minecraft.
I wish people would stop being ungrateful brats and going "Thanks Mojang, you've just ruined Minecraft for me.", "Thanks Mojang, I won't update my game anymore.", or "Fix your game, Jeb.". How about you fix your attitudes and learn to try something "before" complaining?
It's a sandbox game for a reason, it's not supposed to make sense nor be realistic. What other games have gender neutral breeding, redstone wire, pigmen, etc? It's naive to call Minecraft "not unique". Nobody has ever said that natural environments, building, nor zombies were what makes Minecraft unique at all.
Either way, comparing riding pigs to riding horses is like comparing torches to night vision potions. They may do the same thing, but variety has never killed anyone.

I do not have a nostalgic view. Infact, I think people that long for nostalgia in MC can go burn in the fires of Mt. Doom.
My dislike about horses is my way to express that I don't want Mojang to waste time on a matter that could be fixed more easily.

lol, I don't mind that they're in the game, but Mojang did enchantments wrong. And they made wolves that run into fire and lava. And the End is very boring after killing the dragon. And the Wither is a crappy boss that makes no sense.
Minecraft has a hit-and-miss track record when it comes to adding "unique" elements like the wither. So I think it's probably time for something iconic and expected, like horses. Assuming the horses don't just run into fire and lava.

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.
So much butthurt over such a small thing. I am amazed at how stupid the Minecraft community is.
whenever I see you post something, I think of Ron Burgundy saying it.... lol
But I can't stand scrolling through the forums seeing 10000000 hate posts about people hating the new minecraft features, and how it's not what they want.
and then seeing 1000000000 forum posts about how minecraft isn't the same and stuff.

The Minecraft Community needs to just grow up.
Now you generalize. The people that complain now are seldomly the ones that would have horses implemented.

I think the fundamental problem isn't horses, it's the direction of Minecraft has take with adding, redundant features or useless features. The pig isn't necessarily better than the horse but mine cart tracks and nether transit are a means to travel very fast. Also the pig could be adapted to have the same capabilities as the horse and be done with transportation features. The development team is sinking large volumes of time into rather useless features or in this case features that devalue existing features like other transport options.
Mojang is like Hollywood. They can churn out recycled and cliched products/ content because the core gamer is rather unsophisticated and young and their voices are the loudest. Until the 3d survival genre exits it's Wolfenstein 3d phase and diverges into products that offer more meaningful gameplay 14 year olds come out the winner.
I still don't get the point of horses since we already have Speed Potions and Pigs. Like many others said, horses would make those useless outside the realm of custom maps.

BTW mods are not the answer, the majority of Minecraft's user base play vanilla.
