Horses Can Be Your Ideal Transport

1. Horses Can Be Your Ideal Transport Every survival plan depends on transportation, to a large extent. Leaving your immediate location can often be the difference between life and death. There are times when your sophisticated vehicles don't do the trick. The roads are in horrible conditions, at time, due to adverse weather or it is too crowded because everyone else is trying to access it. In any case, you should have an alternate plan for transportation so that you can get out of that area and save your life. I don't claim to be an expert of horses, in fact, I know very little of animal and their handling and care. However, I still realise one thing, there is no better way to get from point A to point B, than horses when every other means fail. Not always you need to be an experienced and expert horse rider. In fact, if you can attach a small and durable cart to your horse, you can carry your emergency sup-plies and your equipments with you while you go on foot. Or, you can ride the cart if you wish so. Horse drawn buggycomes to mind, for an apt example. One thing you should mind though, you should probably use a smaller breed of horse because that would be easy to handle and maintain because bigger horses often tend to be wilder. In fact, if you choose a smaller breed, you can save considerably, comparing against larger animals. They need less food and less maintenance while they have almost the equal stamina. They are strong enough to pull a small cart so your purpose is served as well. You should not ride them for a 30 miles trip because that will be tiring for them. You should take breaks or

An important factor to consider here would be the horse shoes. Wild horses travel for long distances without any shoes and they have no problem. Thus, the barefoot horses should face no problem, especially because they are domesticated and will travel much less, compared to their wilder counterparts. Barefoot trimming is rather popular practice these days and they keep the hoofs in great shape. However, if you must, they get to a good stable who will put horseshoes on, for your horse.
