How can i convince my parents to buy me a horse?

Question

I have a true bond for and with horses, their my life. I REALLY want one more than anything and their all I dream about. I ride every Tuesday. Before lessons, we have to groom, and tack up our horses all by ourselves, and sometimes we give them baths. I go to my neighbor's house and help her train her horses and her new foal. I know everything about horse ownership and i feel I'm ready but here's the preoblem-not money, or housing; but my parents. I'm 12, so I'm not too immature (lol) Anyways.....My barn is cheap etc. Just my parents are like against this all. My dad just says no and ignores me when i ask why, if he told me why then id probably stop asking. My mom just says " If we wanted you to have a horse, then we'd get you one" It's not a good reason. I just want to give up and keep riding school ponies i guess... Idk what to do. I seriously want one, and know i'd love it. I don't need some c**p lecture on care etc. because i already know all that, and expenses. I'm ONLY asking how can i convince them.? PLEASE help!!!!!!
