Why Rapidash?

Because it is a unicorn.

WITH A FIRE MANE.

My inner ten-year-old and my inner pyromaniac have merged to collectively scream at me IT IS A UNICORN WITH A FIRE MANE HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE IT BEST PICK IT. PICK IT PICK IT PICK IT.

*ahem*

So, yes.  Favourite fire-type.

Sadly, to date Ponyta and Rapidash are the only horse-type Pokemon around. D:  CHANGE THIS, GAMEFREAK.
