I'm not calling people who want horses handicaps, though i'm sure both demographics are closely related, i'm calling the idea of adding a new mob to the game to fulfil the job of a mob already in the game because you forgeted up the previous mob's controls.
Imagine they adding a goat because they forgeted up how you get wool from sheep, or they add bison because they forgeted up the "kill cow get stuff" mechanic. It's not even like non-stuff pigs being OP would matter, since the only way for horses to not be terrible is for them to be directly controlable, filling the roll of the pig by adding an extra mob to the game.
So you are saying that they are adding Horses because "They forgeted up riding pigs"

You do realize that riding pigs was a huge joke on Notch's part. People kept asking for a mount to ride and he decided to be a troll and added saddles for Pigs. There is nothing wrong with it, its a joke. Tell me, when was the last time you saw someone riding a pig around on a saddle. I sure as hell can't remember a time.
The only problem here is you, thinking that it was added as a serious riding mechanism. It isnt. Its a Joke. A simple Joke, Fred. Jeb pushed the joke by adding the Carrot on a Stick. Hes not adding horses just because he doesnt want to change the Pigs.
Why are you assuming that he wouldn't make horses, a feature which he is adding specifically for transportation purposes, uncontrollable? You are just making blind assumptions for some god awful reason.
So seriously, get that stick out of your ass. If you don't like horses, thats cool. Your hatred isnt going to prevent them from getting added, and you being an ass hole to anyone who disagrees with you is not helping.
