Advantages of Horses over Cars

With the very high price of gas these days,I am going to get rid of my car,and opt for a horse as my new mode of transportation.The more I ponder it,the more major advantages i see.This is going to be tremendous in so many ways.Instead of feeding my car thousands of dollars a year in gas,I will give my horse water.This will be great for the environment.I can collect the manure my horse provides,and use as free fertilizer for my garden.No more expensive oil changes,tune-ups,tires and costly repairs.Just a visit to the blacksmith occassionaly to check on the horseshoes,make sure the hoofs are fine.In bad weather,i will ride a horse and carriage,to proect me from the elements.It will be so great to get a custom saddle.If anybody tailgates me, they might be in for a suprise when they get a nice pile of hot manure on their hood.

Good idea and I wish I had the room to do this myself... Here's some cost estimates which are older and even if you double the cost of keeping a horse (as long as it stays healthy), it should be half of a vehicle. Go Amish...
