I don't really mind the idea of horses. For my own romantic tendencies I do want them just so I can gallivant around the plains for laughs. I never really saw pigs as a viable way of getting myself from one place to another anyway. They were too unwieldy and difficult to control. I would rather just run-jump my way to whatever place I was heading to. I'd even use minecarts and rails over pig riding as a legitimate way of getting to places, even though you need to lay down the rails and such.
Personally, I always saw pigs as a gag and novelty, even when we could "control" them via carrot and stick. And whatever charm pig-riding had was quickly lost to me. Though I can understand why people would be against horses since it might further devalue pigs. But honestly, until a snapshot comes out, we know next to nothing about how Mojang is going to implement horses and what sort of balances they're going to put in.
Pig Riding gives a physique of a challenge in Minecraft, which is cool for great achievements. Now, Horses will somehow replace/downgrade the pig's attributes, such as the ability to ride pigs. If horses were to added in Minecraft, then Pigs will be, like, the cow; No use but for food. Although some attributes for pig riding:
-Uses Carrot on a stick
-needs saddle from a dungeon
-Hungry while riding kill the pig!

I was once an ordinary Steve thinking about rainbows when I was struck by lightning to death, but still, my big thought about rainbows, brought me back to life. Now, living as Death, using the power of rainbows in accordance with life and death
We will never need horses. We have enough ways for transportation. If you don't like pigs, then go mine some iron adn gold, and raft some tracks and 1 Minecart and you've a better way for transportation. And it's really easy to find stacks of gold and iron, so rails are way to cheap now. Hopefully the horses will only spawn in specific Bioms the're not called Plains or dessert, so I don't need to waste my Diamond sword for killing every horses, that's to near on my base.
So, you hate horses just for the sake of hating them.
Riding pigs is useless, it's more of a silly gimmick people try out for a minute or two tops, then probably never do it again. Minecarts can be good for transport, but they aren't the best for travel. Right now we only have dash and jump to travel far distances, with boats for oceans. Having a horse to ride isn't a bad idea. They serve more of a purpose than pigs, which I feel is why people are hating on the idea. Hating horses because pigs are so useless yet they love pigs anyway. If horses are to be added, maybe pigs can have another use. Seriously though, the reasoning behind most of this horse hate is really silly and childish. Pigs are NOT good for transport. Stop acting like they are. Stop giving false reasons as to why pigs are superior over horses. The only thing I see being better for pigs is they drop meat. Though who knows if horses will drop meat also.
Hope these horses doesen`t have the pig shape, and that they give you a tactical advantage in battle, if not I would probably see them just as another food source (just hope they drop something worth collecting).

The horses don't have the same pig shape, there is a picture of them already.
Horses are cool, pigs are cool too but, I think horses would be better for travelling, no way to prove that, but it seems like it would to me. If you like pigs, ride pigs instead of horses, if you like horses, ride horses instead of pigs. Simple gawd.
I love how the pig is in the background here, sort of watching like "Why you do this to me, horse ;-;"
I am sort of torn on how to feel about horses, honestly. Pigs are one of my favorite mobs, and I have similar fears that pigs will be sent back to uselessness. Maybe pigs can be fast, with their current controls, and horses are slower but with more responsive controls. Maybe horses will be rarer too, or located in villages, or just something that keeps pigs and horses balanced.
Although Mojang is smart so I'm not overly worried. When they come out, I'll probably continue using pigs. inb4 horse breeding resulting in pegasi for air travel
You still haven't pointed out what exactly it is I'm supposed to be seeing in the armor picture that explains your point.
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
Oh look! one of my points just got proven! =D

On topic:
Horses will be nice to ride places, and it is a fun system.
But you can't be more boss than to ride a pig.
