You mean the horse microbadge? I didn't get one for a while because it says "keeps horses" whereas others are "lover of" or just give the name of the animal/bird/amphibian/whatever. I had horses for several decades, raised a few foals, showed etc. We lost the last one a few years ago when she was 32 (had her since a yearling). Eventually I could resist no more and purchased the horse microbadge anyway even though I won't be getting any more. I now just look longingly at other peoples' horses in fields as we pass by........
