I just heard that the average speed of a horse drawn taxi in NYC in 1890 was 7 mph. The average speed of a motor taxi in 1990 was 7 mph. Haven't improved much :lol:
Well we might all get our wishes if the gas prices keep going up im going to start rideing or driveing to town when i go . i was hopeing to be useing my saddlebred for that this spring but he is still in a big fight for his life from colic and magnesium shortage in his system so i may have to hook the mustangs in a 2 up system to go get feed and grocerys ect and also have fun doing it
You know the amish will get a horse going up to 15 to 20 mile an hour in there buggy and those buggys are heavey and normally have 3 to 6 people in them as well that is the reason there h
orses dont make it for long most of there buggy horses are 10 and under cause over that they cant handle the long days of heavy buggy runs , That is why i come to get my broadway horse or big red as i call him Now if he will come out of the colic stuff i will be so happy to be able to drive him in my lil oxford wagon and head to town for some R AND R
I say we just do away with the cars and ride our horses around.
At least then they wont have to be inhaling all the exhaust.
