I had a feeling as such. I am from a long line of farmers, everyone with lots of land, barns, and a few with the horses too. And not a single one uses that as a primary mode of transport.
I know this is off the topic, but kinda relates due to the horse talk. I noticed a few guys talking about how horses are a huge red flag when it comes to the women they date. I interject that in my experience, it is Coastal horse women that are worrysome. The midwestern horse women I have met have usually been the most hard working, honest, reliable and trustworthy women I have met. Plus they usually are alittle better looking due to their higher activity levels and interest in keeping the midwestern 25 off to spare the horse.
The Ca horse women generally have been nuts. Hot, but nuts.
