A Horse lifetime = 25 - 30 years while a cow's = 18 - 22 years. Now, you might feel like that proves your point, but the longer the skin sees wear and tear on the original animal, the less supple and tolerant it will be following tanning. Plus if you have ever tipped an oiled cow, you know how tough that oiled leather can be. Also horses throw shoes. Cows don't need shoes. Cows are also so superior, they are worshiped in some areas. Also if you recall, the reliance on horse was the ultimate demise of the Trojans, its longevity was surprisingly short.
Yes, but horses tend to have closer relationships with humans which should cause the HH to wear closer and mold better to your feet. In addition, if you want to be famous, choose HH. Can you name a single famous cow? I didn't think so. Are there any movies made about cows? I think not. Plenty of famous and movie star horses though.
So, for the optimal in fits and for fame and fortune, there is only one choice, HH.
