Then I assume you must start now, or well before now, to accumulate points. The belief systems I am aware of where reincarnation occurs require some sort of “karma points” in past lives to keep from coming back as some sort of 6-legged crunchy critter.
And given that, the vast majority of horses live short lives as part of the food chain. Or most of their lives in harness as cart or carriage horses, with scant food and less rest. The few born into free-ranging herds, maybe 2% rise to alpha or near alpha, to have status for control of their lives, breeding, grazing, etc. Look at the people here, the few who have a horse and a cow that will live full lifespans, probably more food than is healthy, shelter from weather and storms, and consider their various quirkinesses to be lovable expressions of themselves, instead of stamping their quirks out to make them part of industry. (Which is a 2-way road I might add; how thin is the line that 1200 or 2000 Lbs must follow for 20-odd years, stay in your fence, not threaten injury, keep your hormones in check, bend your will to a weird 2-legged critter, to remain the cherry of someone’s eye.) How long are the odds of (horse, cow, goat, pig) finding a life thread that leads them to one of us, or like us, for your goal. (Yeah, you could miss by a couple of degrees and come back as a pygmy goat in some Zoo person’s backyard. Them’s the breaks).
But you better get to work if you want to come back as the 2% of horses you want to be, not as a bug or a can of Ken-L-Ration.
