Horses are better than Cats

I strongly believe that Horses are better than Cats.

I know with a horse you could enter it in a competition and if you could win the race and you will get a trophy or a medal and you would get all the glory.

In my opinion you can ride a horse around a field and you don't have to pick up their poo and you can make hay for them to eat and you can race your horse against another horse and you could win something, if they stink you can use a hose to wash your horse, you can wash your cat but sometimes it can be hard because some cats don't like water and you have to clean their litter box. Also, cats run away and when you can’t really catch them because they will use their claws to scratch you when you catch it. So cats are more harder to  take care of than horses.

Now with a horse you can ride it to your friend's house and also you can train your horse to jump over stuff like rubbish bins, chairs and bars.  Also, you can take your horse for exercise.  A horse can get you away from stuff like a dog that is attacking you or if you want to get away from your little brother or sister.

Also your parents would be really proud of you when you bring a trophy or medal home.

So that is why I believe that Horses are better than cats.
