I'd also want a horse... but I'll likely never have one. 1) I think I'd only want one if I could have it at my house, not at a stable somewhere where I'd have to go visit it. But, we don't have enough land to have one, so we'd have to move for that to happen. 2) Horses are a lot of work. I used to housesit/pet sit for a family who had horses. With all the work they require (stall cleaning, feeding, grooming, etc. I doubt I'd have much time for "fun stuff" after I got done with all of the work. Plus, finding someone to do it while we travel would be a big pain. I might have more time to devote to them in retirement, but I'm not sure that's how I'd want to spend my retirement.
