What a bunch of crud! The great American west was settled & civilized, as we know it today, by men (women and children) who used the horse to make it possible to travel, haul, plow, plant, harvest, market, and defend the ground your working today. Men rode over 3 million of them into WW1 to defend the country. Horses carried the men and pulled the canons. They made the cattle industry possible. Today they allow a man to ride out where the country is pristine and leave it that way when he leaves. I've packed deer out of canyons so deep an ATV would never get out. There is Rodeo for cowboys and horse shows for young and old. Gymkana to teach children sportsmanship,humane behavior, animal husbandry, and how to be competative. Horses don't have to cost a lot if kept smartly. They will eat about 7 or 8000 pounds of good quality hay each year. But if you know what yer doing there is no need for a lot of Vet bills. Shoes are optional, I guess, dentists are needed a few times in a lifetime. I say the same is true for the big dog, who by the way eats big and craps big, goes to the Vet....... Anyway, I hope this helps explain why people have horses and maybe the next time you look at one you'll see him different. "In a lifetime a man will get 1 good dog, 1 good horse, and 1 good woman." Well then, I'm done. Scottyb

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
