Where is this guy getting a horse for $1,000 from?

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

I mean if you want any old horse and can transport it you can often get them for free. They're like pianos

does a horse not transport itself ?

Not in a way amenable to seal the deal a few cities across, unless you get a one way ride up there and you’re prepared to camp/hotel a few nights on the way back

Isn't that the point though. He's replacing his car with a horse because apparently a horse makes more sense in this guy's world.

If after buying the horse you have to use a vehicle to transport it, doesn't that invalidate the argument?

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I guess, we'd have to consult with the horse-pilled anon OP if he meant to replace absolutely all driving with horse riding, but I was assuming his take was mostly about day to day trips and not necessarily all trips.

I see, guess I didn't plan all the way through

Don't blame yourself, they just don't teach horses in school anymore

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

you can often get them for free

The maintenance cost of a "free" horse is anything but

Oh I'm not discounting that. Free pianos don't tend to be cheap either to get tuned, and that's if you can even tune them in the first place.
