    To people who had never known any other way to travel than on foot, the horse was a major upgrade. To people accustomed to mechanized transportation, the horse is a major downgrade. Maintenance costs are one thing but the time requirements are what really makes it not affordable.

      I think I’d you get a horse it’d be because you’re into the ‘hobby’ of taking care of animals and everything that entails.
