Second, horses can run fast enough that it's possible to race, explore, or joust on them without needing to worry about attack. Trying to attack a running horse is like chasing after an ice-cream truck.
Look at it this way: you have a mounted PVPer camping the Nether. The speed of the horse gives him an enormous advantage, but he eventually ends up dying. Then he comes back, remounts his invincible horse, and starts attacking again. Does that sound legit to you?

Voted no, as it makes no sense to protect a single type of animal over any other.

So their value is only in what they can carry (leather, bones, and rotten flesh can be obtained more efficiently from other mobs). But horses would basically be useless if they were under constant threat of death from other players.Well, first of all, the server is already fun, and even if there were no horses whatsoever, it would remain that way.
That prevents a lot of fun activities from being done, like racing, exploring, or jousting. If the server isn't going to be fun, why are we even here? +1 for some kind of horse protection.

Pigs and horses could be killed if they did not have a saddle, so they would be treaded like nomal animals, but if they hade saddles on, then they would act like minecarts and boats, only they would not despawn and they could not be killed. Just an idea I had to maybe get the people that thought it would not be fair to only protect one kind of animal to like this idea.Well, they already aren't able to despawn. As for the second part, it's rather complicated, but it boils down to the legitimacy of the server. There is no legitimate way to protect saddled horses or pigs in vanilla, and going into someone's pen to kill their mobs is against the rules, so you only need to worry about it when running around with your horse or pig.

Both are very useful, and are not like normal animals because of this, Also looting is against the rules, and this would just create problems for staff when a player kills another players donkey and takes all the players stuff. The chest on the donkey also needs to be protected. I personally would like to be able to ride my horse around spawn care freeI can ride pigs; should they, then, be protected? As for the donkeys, if the looting rule applies to them, you can simply contact staff to have the looting player banned, and have it rolled back. If, on the other hand, it is not considered looting, then taking your items on a donkey would simply be a risk that you can decide to take.

I am the whirring thing past the corner. I am the darker patch under the bed. I am the tapping on your window; the extra steps on the sidewalk; the voice whispering your name. I am Stalkerbot, and I am watching you.
Cant wait for the horse update... Im going to end up getting a horse and not be able to ride it anywhere without the fear of it being killed by another player. Horses are more of a companion for the player unlike all the other animals that are meant to be killed. Also does this mean players can kill and loot donkeys? Or can players kill and loot horses armor? This would go against the no looting rule, so would this protect donkeys? Why don't we just make it easy and simple. Protect donkeys and horses.
