I can honestly say, I NEVER asked my Dad for $50.00. Why do you need $50.00? Maybe he does not have it to spare. Maybe instead of asking for $$ as soon as he walks through the door, ask him how his day was. Do you do chores around the house? Do you get an allowance?

maybe you dont understand or your parents dont think you understand the money time and responsibilities it takes to own even ONE horse. just because you know doesnt mean you understand, you will have to care for the horse at least 20 or more years, while having the land and time and money again for it. food, hay, water, shade, comfort, vet, medicine, training, stuff, none of it is cheap.. you need a job to help with it, your parents aren't going to do everything for you forever, unless its their horse not yours. your dad is probably saying no because of this, and you dont always get what you want, unless you ARE spoiled. im not saying you are spoiled or wont get a horse but its just possibilities. im 15 almost 16, i grew up around all animals including horses i rode horses i had horses but i still cant have my own though i have the money and space and love and care for one. why dont you wait until you can be responsible without being limited, like say when you are actually an adult. 3 more years, and until then, why dont you go for somthing that will prove you responsibilities and test your skills and devotion, like as you said your dad offered, a dog.

Perhaps the irony of the fact that your Dad just got in from work, probably working hard for his money, and that you wanted $50 for doing nothing got to him. Next time try making him a snack or a drink when he gets in, take his coat and ask him how his day was. Ask for money an hour later and I bet you'll get it.

Perhaps he thinks you should get a Saturday job or a paper round and EARN your money so you start to learn the value of it.
If you are not old enough to get an out-of-school job then do some chores for your neighbours - mow lawns, wash cars, walk dogs, babysit. Earning money for yourself will give you a great sense of satisfaction when you go to spend it and it will make your parents respect you and see how grown up you are being.

Do you actually need the money? Is it for something important?
Your Dad just got home from work. He had a long, hard day at work EARNING his money, then you come up to him and ask him for money. I can sorta understand why he got angry with you.
What have you done to earn money? Have you ever done chores around the house? Yardwork? Tell him that you want an allowance. You'll do chores for him, and he'll give you money that you have earned.
I bet he'll agree to that!
Cheers

Until you've gone out and earned your own money, and reeped the benefits of the work you sow, you won't understand why your dad was mad.
Do yourself (and his wallet) a favor and get a job. Babysitting, mowing lawns and newspaper routes are great beginner jobs. If you're old enough in your state to get a real job, start putting in applications!
When you make your own money, you won't want to part with it either. ;)

Do you know your families financial situation? Maybe it is not good and he is stressed about it. You did not say what you wanted the $50 for. Maybe he didn't like what you wanted to spend it on. Maybe he has given you money recently and was mad that you already need more. Did you ask him?

You are making a joke, right? I hope you are, because that is the most outrageous statement you made. You sound like a spoiled brat to the max. I'm glad you aren't my daughter, I might have to drown you and start over.

To be frank, you sound very spoilt. My guess is that you regularly ask your dad for money and he probably gives it to you because "your his little angel".
Your dad probably had a stressful day, he walks in the door and straight away he gets his spoilt little daughter asking him for money.
Put yourself in his shoes instead of being so self-centered.
