Do you think the horse and buggy will make a comeback?

Question

With gas prices like they are, do you think the horse and buggy will make a comeback? In times like these, the Amish look really smart.

Answer 1

Not a chance. Can you imagine the road congestion? Road apples everywhere!

Answer 2

The price of oats and hay are going up too and ferriers aren't cheap either. A horse is a high maintenance animal.

Answer 3

duuuuude.

not unless we make it come back.

and someone can find enough horse pooper scoopers for everyone.

except, knowing america, the wheels will probably have spinners or something g*y like that.

what a good idea.

Answer 4

i live in ny my boyfriend in pa in lancaster county pa where the dutch amish populate... they have horse and buggys w/blinkers... they use the same roadways regular cars do and we have to wait for them

Answer 5

Not a chance, the Amish are suffering as well. I live right in Lancaster, PA with two horses of my own. Hay prices right now are going through the roof. We're lucky if we can find bales of hay for $10 a piece (1 bale lasts about 1-2days in the summer, obviously they eat more of it n the winter)  Plus, you would need at least 2-3 horses(good buggy horse costs 2K) as they would each need days off, and buggy's aren't cheap (6-12k here). Then you have farrier, vet, and dentist bills for your horse. Sure you might save some money, but not enough to make a huge difference.

It's a lose-lose situation.

Answer 6

the horse and buggy was like, an olden days car that was just stuck in the past.

Answer 7

I saw a trolley on the News in downtown Manhattan so anything's possiable.......Blessings Yahoo
