RE: How often
It won't hurt anything but if I don't have a chance to drive it all week I'll start it up and let it run (once a week) just for ****s and giggles. As for our horses, I really haven't figured out how to start up a horse...

RE: How often
My understanding is the concern of an engine sitting for a long time the gas will "oxidize" and gumm up the carberator. There is an additive I add to my lawnmower (called Stabil) that will protect the engine from getting gummed up. I use one a year to winterize all the lawn equipment.
but yeah , a week? I'll come over and make sure the tires dont get stiff, give me your address and leave the keys in the mailbox.

RE: How often
No worries about leaving it sit, but man be careful when you get back and take her out! That horse will be SO full of **** and vinegar that it will want to go VERY fast [8D] And I'm guessing you will too!
