> People are buying cars because they're better than horses

This is only true for people with a certain amount of spare money to pay the extra, since cars are more expensive to purchase.

"According to Kelley Blue Book, gas cars averaged $48,681 that month" whereas horses typically cost between $1500-$10,000 https://www.joyfulequestrian.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-bu...

AAA reports that average annual operating costs for a car are ~$8500/year https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/what-does-it-cost-to...

Whereas the average annual cost of a horse is under $4000/year https://cowgirlmagazine.com/cost-owning-horse/



My neighborhood isn’t zoned for horses so I’m going to need a horseless carriage to get me to the horse barn.


Have you considered (checks notes) an electric scooter?
