There are plenty. But a lot of that stereotype probably comes from guys jealous about the time and effort it takes to have horses.
I'm from the "horses first, guys second" school.

It’s the companionship of a dog combined with the utility of a 4x4. The problem is how much effort, expense, and land is needed to properly care for one. It’s not an easy task. It kinda requires one to be all in. If you’re not, you won’t be willing to make the kinds of necessary investments of time and resources to own one.
Horses can be found for cheap, too, because they’re so expensive to care for.

They're just giant cats and really big assholes who like to be a pain in the arse. Cost a fortune to feed and take care of. I ride ours every now and then, but life was a lot easier when my SIL (no pics) kept them at one of those fancy expensive barns and not at the ranch.

Eerily similar to what my gray looked like last night and will probably look like tonight 
777, that is correct. Mine is an emo cutter and is just getting over a very deep puncture from a suicide attempt while I was on vacation.

I had a TB we bought from the track who was an excellent hunter. He was also the dumbest horse I've ever ridden.
I was going across a pasture at a full gallop, heading towards a coop (a type of jump). I took a hell of a fall because he simply forgot to jump. He was lucky that he didn't break a leg when he tore up the jump.

This country was founded on horses, guns, and farming!
Without either, we are not here today....

He’s cute! Looks like an Arab face.
Aren’t gray horses fun?
You ride around here?

Horses and barns smell like shite

i think they are fascinating animals and can see the love for them
one thin i ve learned about them, and every single one of them. from the moment they are born, they spend 24/7 looking for a way to die.
They might hear a mosquito fart and get spooked, run through pasture and impale themselves on the one downed branch in the entire 5 acres
They might look at a rusty nail funny and develop laminitis and thats it for them
its cold outside so time for a good colic....and thats it dead.

I grew up in Lexington Ky, and worked on some horse farms for a few summers.
Once I was around them a little…I understood the appeal.
They’re very powerful and beautiful animals, and some are actually pretty smart.
They don’t call them thoroughbreds for nothing.

I like grays.
I ride in North Texas some, but when it is warm enough I go to Northern New Mexico to ride. I need to be more sociable, but in the last couple of years, I ride by myself (other than dogs) most of the time.

There are a couple of old timers around here who have mules. When they come up on a barbed wire fence, they get off the mule and put a blanket over the fence and the mule jumps over the fence. They then get back on the mule. It is pretty cool to watch.
I've seen a Jenny get after some coyotes. The Jenny was the clear winner.

He came out gray so I didn’t have a choice.
I hate it at winter horse shows when he uses his poop for a pillow.
Just wondered if we maybe knew each other
