Surely someone can cite studies or something? Wouldn't it make an interesting anthropology study? I've heard too often: "I can't explain it...I just love them!"

Out of all the responses so far, raveneye's sister's response is the most eloquent: "...horses are just inherently lovable, they're gentle, obedient, strong, loyal, and have that long flowing hair that you can brush and ornament."

I also like Raenna's response--I like going fast too, but have never had a chance to ride a horse in any speedy conditions. And even though the idea appeals to me (going really really fast), I'd much rather try riding motorcycles before riding horses--something tells me it would be faster and more comfortable. But I could see how it would be nice to have an emotional connection with the creature running 35 miles an hour through thick woods. You call it a natural connection, but it almost sounds like a supernatural one--a fantasy of some sort, involving creatures with ability much greater than your own.

PS. I hope I didn't give the impression that I thought all girls love horse stories--I just know that there is a market for horse stories that is gobbled up by young girls much more than it is by young boys. The question in my mind is, why is there a market in the first place?
