Compare and Contrast

In looking at the difference of horse power, being the horse or the car, my favorite is the horse.  Yes many things can go bad with both.  When your transmision goes bad in the car you can still shift gears with a horse.  Although when your horse is hurt your not going to be riding anywhere, either.  A flat tire takes a little air or a patch, it would be nice to be able to fix a hoof that way.

I am partial to the companionship of the horse the most.  I just don't feel tha tclose to my car.  If my car wanted to jump off a cliff I wouldn't join it.  Now if my horse did I would definitely try to stop him or at least go with him. In an overall view of them both they get treated the same way by some.  One either really cares about their car or horse, or they don't.  If you put good gas in your car compared to cheap gas, you don't have to fix as many things on it.  For instance the fuel injectors get gummed up with cheap fuel and need to be replaced.   A horse works in the same order, if  one feeds them bad hay they get sick.  If they get fed good hay, they stay healthy.

For most it's not an option.  It's hard to have a horse and live in the city. Then again when you live in the country you need a vehicle of some sort, weather it be a car, truck, or tractor, transportation is needed.  You can ride your horse to town but many frown appon what is left behind.  It is a great way to go "GREEN".
