My daughter's suggestion for years, here captured in three photos!
Let's all get back to horse riding and going to places in carriages ... she would LOVE it (and be surprised how much longer it would take her to get to her daily training at the swimming pool in town, or to school, for that matter, to which she's now taken by a bus!)
It'll never take off - imagine trying to squeeze that huge beast through the neck of your fuel tank - might clog up the filter a bit with the hair as well.
These are nice pictures, horses are most beautiful when you see them wild and free. Its true, with the rising cost of fuel we should all try alternative ways, if you have a lot of grass in your back yard a horse is a good alternative , riding a bike to work is another if its not too far.
