Owning a horse is like owning a boat. It's not going to grant you happiness.

Considering horses have the possibility of being loyal lifelong pets I'd say they can very well give happiness

I once raced a 3 day old horse, and he was slightly faster then me. And I was pretty fast for a human.

They say the two happiest days in a horse owner's life are the day they buy the horse and the day the horse tramples them to death.

For most of us yes. The decent amount of money that allows us to live comfortably gets real limited when we stretch out further with stuff like a boat and a horse. But for those that got lucky in life to comfortably afford it, a boat and a horse arent seen the money drains since they have more to give. This lets them enjoy the activities that comes with a boat and horse more.
