If we get horses Pigs will be useless for riding, and horses are too normal,
Without riding pigs Minecraft wouldn't be the same, and would stop being unique.
I encourage the idea of hay bales, carpets, and all the other 1.6 hype,
But we don't need horses. Jeb is just copying mods and its making minecraft boring,
If we want a mod we download it, not get forced to play it.
Minecraft is dying, and Horses would be the last straw.
Yes we should be able to craft saddles, but they should work on pigs ONLY.
Jeb, if you read this PLEASE DON'T ADD HORSES!
Comments would be nice, fellow forum-users.
Yeah!
Let's remove cows because they make porkchops useless!
>.<
Oh and I don't really think minecraft is "dying" quite the opposite really.
Also if people download mods because they make the game better wouldn't adding stuff from mods in theory make the game better?
Do you think if I borrow a shirt from my friend it's awesome but when I buy the same exact shirt it's quality would degrade?
I dislike your comment about horses I have never liked riding pigs as it was pointless. To be honest I thought that horses should have been in it from the start instead of being to ride pigs as they where pointless but funny at times until the carrot on a stick came in one of the updates I like the idea of horses as it is better then getting a saddle and making a carrot on a stick. So I disagree.

Horses have been promised to be added into the game by Notch but he didnt add it during the development of the game,even after he handed the game over to Jeb. Jeb is probably fulfilling what Notch wanted in the first place so i don't see the reason not to add them

Apologies for my bad English. I'm from Singapore and that place is known for people with pretty bad English.
Pigs are only useful for transportation when it comes to riding. Horses will allow for animal-back combat, and the improved jump height and running speed will allow for obstacle course and race-dedicated servers.
And, as said before, just because horses are being added doesn't mean you're forced to use them.
It's funny how people argue "it will make pig riding useless therefore the game will be ruined!"
Err.. hasn't riding pigs always been useless? I mean, you get a few laughs the first time, but you don't seriously use pigs to travel, do you? It's more of just a silly thing in the game. You'd be better of just walking than riding a pig. I'd like to have a different way of travel than having to dash and continuously bounce. Horses have been done before, but something doesn't need to be 100% new and fresh to be a good idea. Zombies and skeletons have been done before. Should they be removed as well? Oh and spiders, of course. Been done before! The only mobs that should exist are the creeper and endermen if we're wanting to keep Minecraft original.
Seriously though, I have yet to hear a good argument as to why horses shouldn't be added. People keep pretending that pigs are a good way of travel. It just doesn't make sense.

You're forgetting that Endermen were inspired by the Slenderman. UNORIGINALITY! REMOVE! REMOVE!
ATTENTION: This Minecraft world is a Creeper-Only zone.

I use them for mobile archery mounts.
But yeah they are much more of a hassle when travelling than the benefits they give.
1. They are slow first, where if you sprint, you are instantly fast.
2. They require you to use a carrot on a stick. If the carrot is depleted, you have to recraft the carrot on a stick. And after you do, it takes time to actually have them notice it. Afterwards, it will take time for them to speed up again.
3. They instantly stop and wont move when touching water while being ridden. Seriously... (Though not sure if fixed)

And ghasts, zombie pigmen, wither skeletons and withers.
Pigs haven't been made useless or redundant either, they serve as a source of food, and they can also serve more creative uses such as something like this:
WOW it is on youtube already? Oh that method has become popular fast...
People like to be against something more often. They don't like the water mechanics because of realism, and they don't want horses because of uniqueness. Minecraft is already unique with the cube and pixelated graphics, don't forget all the interractions ingame and unique objectives compared to other games.
Yeah looking back I think that Horses would be okay, so long as they made them Unique like the idea of riding a pig. I don't usually ride pigs but the idea of pig riding is unique. Thinking about it it would be good to have both so long as they balanced it and made pig different, or able to wear armour, and use one universal saddle for both.
So what I'm saying is horses are cool so long as pigs don't become boring. Seriously, pork chops are neat but they aren't as nice as a controllable pig. Add pig armour, hold rod with carrot and a sword, universal saddle and pigs wearing chests or something.
Unrelated but still transport, I think dispenser minecarts which place rails ahead of them would be cool, and spawner carts and boats.
Without riding pigs Minecraft wouldn't be the same, and would stop being unique.

Just add a balance to the horses and the pigs. Something that makes you want to keep both for at times of need.

Wait for time
In the break of new dawn
We will never meet
I forgot enderdragon.
P.S. are magma cubes, silverfishes and cave spiders unique?
But Dragons have been done before. BEGONE WITH YE DRAGON!
What about slimes?
From a random user in reddit... To a popular youtuber? That escalated quickly.
