You need carrots to actually control the pig. The Carrot on a Stick's horrible durability makes pig riding not even worth it, though.
Unless you have some emotional attachment to pigs, there's really not much they have against horses. Pig riding has been pretty much useless even before horses, as sprinting jumping has always been faster than a pig with a carrot boost.
I'm not saying you need to ride them you can still have them on a leash and walk them.

While I'm here I should probably add this: Horse racing is not necessarily going to be any more fun than Pig racing, in fact probably much less. With Horses whoever has the fastest wins, unless you make a crazy course, and if you're doing that you may as well be on foot using speed potions. Pigs on the other hand are irritating, slow to respond, and require a supply of carrots as fuel. I think this all adds to the fun, and skill required, of Pig racing.
They didn't copy and paste the Mo' Creatures horses, the mo' creatures horses look different. They made these horses, they just got the idea of horses because riding pigs is kind of weird, and the mo' creatures was just and inspiration because the minecraft community wanted a new mob.
Actually, Jeb worked with Dr Zhark on this, and let him help with Horses design, AI, etc. I don't know why everyone thinks he copied Mo' Creatures... he didn't!

Fixed.
Anyways, the reason people think that is because they are basically the same thing:
Same model.
Same behavior (less a few things).
Same general taming method.
Same add-ons (armor (also has same texture) chests, ect.).
The only thing really different about them is the texture, and that is because mojang has a 16x16 style, where as mocreatures has 32x32 style but otherwise they are rather similar there too.
Hum, I WONDER why people think is is copy/paste, in reality, I don't think it was entirely C/P but I would say that large bits of code were simply C/Ped or copied by hand (not sure why they would do that though)
Perhaps I should add this:
OT (more or less):
Pigs are generally silly to farm now, mostly because cows are better, and if you didn't get carrots in your first few days of play (you probably will not, unless you look for them) you are going to probably have a wheat farm, and cows, and by that time you don't need pigs (despite the fact that, once you have carrots, they are cheaper) because you have everything set up for cows already, and since you are trying to make the library of Alexandria in your legit survival world (ok, probably not, but books do make good decorations, in addition to enchanting buffs)), you don't care about pigs, you have so much steak that you could last for months of real world time on it.
On a side note, pig riding speed should be buffed to upwards of the speed of the fastest horse.
Of course they are; during your first few days in a new world pigs may be killed freely, as breeding them relies on finding carrots first, and cows are way too precious later on to be slaughtering in the amounts required by the new hunger system. Just one of the few things that makes them useful.
Horses. Horses are like a diamond pickaxe with fortune 1 and pigs are like a wood pick with mining fatigue 3. Plus the riding wasn't added in as a serious feature It was a joke which makes any 'ERMAHGERD HORSES MAKE PIGS OBSOLETE SO MINECRAFT IS RUINED' arguments invalid

Have you ever been to a farm dude, you have to walk the horses to specific spots.
I'm saying have you ever seen someone going down your street with a horse tied to a leash? I have not seen this happen to a Pig either but it's probably more common to see someone walking a pig in a town instead of a horse.

Totally not true, barely anyone has pigs, lots of people have horses.

Enough do that you're more likely to see someone walking one down the street with one than a horse (which is basically never.) I saw a pet pig at the pet groomer's a few months ago. Horses are just too big.
I choose Donkeys because they are actually useful.
But if I had my way Horses would be the GoTo mount and the pig saddle would be a rare dungeon drop so they could continue to act as a status symbol for those who feel one is required.
So your gonna go and make potion or get gold and carrots?
It's easier than taming a horse. And pigs deserve more, they currently have no use, thanks to the ever so rude horses. I only liked the idea of donkey's and mules to carry my stuff around. Horses were supposedly wanted by the community, and most of the suggestions for them that I saw got hate. I have no idea who thought that idea. They should be only in mo' creatures.

I want a pet pig!Frankly, pigs are faster than horses at full speed. I've tested it.

Riding pigs is weird, huh? What is Minecraft? Normal? I thought punching wood to get logs and floating islands and exploding green 4 legged creatures was pretty normal, too. (Sarcasm)

I have to agree, pigs are better than horses.
I still keep pigs in a pen, just for the heck of it. They're not usless...

No, with a rider, carrot on a stick, full boost.
