Local paper had a funny article about burning hay vs. gas la crosse tribune
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ut is it really cheaper to ride a horse than drive a car these days?
Would it be practical? Is it even legal? Read on.
A decent trail horse costs between $700 and $1,500 these days, said Ken Meyer of Sunset Stables, located just over Grandad Bluff east of La Crosse.
A decent car will set you back much more than that, but you can find a beater in that price range.
If you're accustomed to a pickup or an SUV, consider a draft horse. Meyer said it'll cost you $1,000 or more.You'd think horse fuel also would be cheaper. Feed and hay will set you back between $150 and $160 a month, assuming you don't have a pasture, Meyer said.

Plenty of unaccount-for costs. The prime one is time. A car doesn't need but a fraction of the TLC horse needs and that's time consuming. A horse is cheaper if you don't need to use time to make money. The amount of time it takes to get from one place to another is much greater too.
