Got a good test drive this am. Working great! Put my iron target out at 50 yards.
I was riding horses for almost a decade before I got neck deep into iron horses.

Oh, no... They have personalties, and think for themselves. Machines, are much more obedient/reliable. Of course, leaning forward, grabbing and twisting an ear and starting your command with, "listen you @#$hole" seems to be understood by 99% of the species. Mares are much more willing to work with you, until she's "in season." Good luck
Horses require daily attention if nothing else at feeding times. Been there done that and got tired of either having to be home or making sure a trustworthy friend was available to feed them. it was a great day when we got horses but it was abetter day when we got rid of them

Yep, my bride had 14 when I met her, soon after they had to go. Can't go do anything unless you have a horse sitter.

Can I get one of them? lol
Yep. Wife lived and dreamt that all her younger life. I do like 'em, but neither of us have ridden in years. They're like a big dog in many ways, and I do appreciate they have a mind/personality. I also think our dogs have cured my wife of wanting to own a horse.... She'd rather rent one now.

Some personal and some family member experience with owning/riding/care-taking horses for a couple decades.
In addition to the other good comments above, don't forget “maintenance”.
Do you live near a good equine veterinarian that makes house calls at 2am? Is he/she old and about to retire with no one to sell the practice to? Similar considerations for a good farrier.
How far do you have to go for feed?
Don’t forget about appropriate facilities (fences, acreage, ground conditions and vegetation cover, some kind of overhead shelter, etc).
I’d rather have a decent truck or SUV. Cheaper and less hassle in the long run. More versatile.
