I'm really hoping that as a result of adding horses, Mojang cleans up how entites (boats and now horses) are driven by players. They're especially derpy in multiplayer and they could really use some polish.
Using a bow on a pig is like being a sitting duck. You cant quickly get away. You dead. The pig is slow to climb up blocks and... your just dead. I mean, pigs stand out. Someone will see you, rush towards you, and kill you. Or they can kill your pig with one shot. There cntrol is terrible, you can't get away.(maybe on superflat but what pvp server is on superflat???)
you have never uses a boasted pig form how u talk about it.
if your good u never have to stop

I do believe that they're also going to add more weapons, to coincide with the horses and the fact that they can be equipped with armor.
Let's just say this may just be the "Medieval Update". Unless they add fishes or a new water mob, then it can be a Mob Update.

No, we have all used pigs. Ive played on servers where they try to use them as mounts in combat. It always fails. Their poor controls + acceleration combined with their low health make them useless. No matter how good you are you cant guarantee a pig wont glitch out and lose control. Happens ALL the time. Not to mention when the pig gets hit it runs in all kinds of a crazy pattern before you can control it again. Stop trying to make pigs out to be more than they are, a novelty.
OT, this is pretty exciting. Since in real life you can ride a horse and not use your hands, I'm hoping that we don't have to hold an item to run this (reins or something). Or if we do, we can go hands-free and just have lowered control over turning.

That's not the point. The point is that adding horses because pigs aren't useful in combat is stupid, since you can just add some buffs and gear to pigs to make them useful. Adding a horse will make the pig all but useless. But since they're already coming there's nothing I can do about it. I just hope that pigs get a new ability or something to make up for their uselessness.
I didn't think it was. What makes you think horse riding will be anymore worthwhile? The fact that they won't die easily from having armor that you'll have to make yourself, or perhaps that you can hold anything while riding as opposed to an item that'll give your mount a speed boast?
While riding a pig? No you're not. You lose controll of the pig very quickly after removing the carrot on a stick from your hand, and it takes a while to regain speed after it stops. Also, hitting anything while moving at 5 blocks a second is extremly hard, especialy because the pig moves where you look so you'll begin rushing towards your enemy at 5 blocks a second, giving them the chance to hit you.
Pigs have no place on the battlefield, horses will.
JUST an fyi. Take a look a "tribes ascend" and tell me it isnt possible to hit someone moving an a slow pig.
Also to add to the conversation, bows are good at keeping people at a distance. I had a mod trying to enderpearl me who couldn't quite get close enough. The only problem is he was a mod, so he was going to win anyways.

Well that's stupid.
Now the only thing that slabs are useful for is decoration.

It has a skyrim -ish look to it.

yet there is no armor for skyrim horses :/
With TNT cannons and dispensers with fire charges acting as artillery, and archer towers set up on hills... that would be quite interesting.
Who is this associate and where is the source to this? I'm very curious about the validity of your statement.
I call bull, unless source.

...but that's just like, my opinion, man.

I wasn't very excited about Horses to begin with.
Great, not ride-able pigs is completely worthless.
