Best Answer

Humans declare certain animals to be pets when the animal is treated as a member of the family more than as a piece of living property or a useful tool. The distinction isn't always clear, particularly with non-traditional pet species. For example, some people have pet snakes and Spiders; other people view these species as pests or vermin.

The key distinction between "just an animal" and a "pet" is the perceived relationship between the human and the animal.

What is the home of a horse called?

Horses can be kept in many places. If a horse is kept indoors, the 'home' is called the stable or a box. The horse can also live in a stall indoors and this is very similar to a stable, but usually is smaller and contains no windows. Stalls are usually only used temporarily. Outdoors, horses live in pastures/fields, normally with other horses as they are herd animals.
