The Husband's advantage:

• Husbands are less expensive to shoe than horses.
• Feeding a husband doesn't require anything that even mildly compares with the hassle of putting up hay.
• A lame husband can still work.
• A husband with a bellyache doesn't have to be walked.
• Husbands don't try to scratch their heads on your back.
• They are better able to understand puns.
• If they are playing hard to catch, you "may" be able to run them down on foot.
• They know their name.
• They usually pay their own bills.
• They apologize when they step on your toes.
• No saddle fitting problems.
• They seldom refuse to get into the vehicle.
• They don't panic - running and yelling all through the house when you leave them alone (unless you've left the kids with them too!).
• For a nominal fee, you can hire someone else to clip them.
• They don't like the lady next door just as well as you, just because she fed him for 3 days straight.

The Horse's advantage:

• If they don't work out you can sell them.
• They don't come complete with in-laws.
• You don't have to worry about your children looking like them.
• You never have to iron their saddle pads.
• If you get too fat for one, you can shop for a bigger one.
• They smell good when they sweat.
• You can repair their "clothes" with duct tape.
• It's possible to keep them from "jumping the fence"...
• You can force them to stay in good physical condition... with a whip if necessary.
• They don't want their turn at the computer.
• They may turn white with age, but never go bald.
• They have never heard of PMS.
• They learn to accept restraint.
• They don't care what you look like as long as you have a carrot or an apple.
