I’d rather have the olive. Ever try to dress a salad with, or to burn, ‘horse oil’?
It is much easier to sit in the shade of an olive tree, then in the shade of a horse. Can’t sling a hammock or hang a swing from a hourse’s limbs, either.
Horses reproduce too slowly, and require too much year round work, and take up too much pasture that cows could use, for the amount of meat they produce.
And the horse tips over your Martini glass.
