>>1684225You're not making any sense. I own two cars, and have owned a shit-box for many years. The price of gas and annual check ups alone comes out to about 500 dollars per year (being generous here), and that's with light driving, and not even mentioning the insurance you HAVE to pay if you want to even drive that car.
You do not need a large estate to house a horse, it's preferable, but all you need is a place to keep them sheltered during extreme weather. You need to learn how to care for a horse if you don't want it to die, get injured, or be unhappy, but this is common sense, and that you consider it a luxury expense says more about you than it does anything else.
Do you know what a cowboy is? Like, an actual cowboy? They're a dude who rides a horse and herds cattle. That used to mean riding a horse through long stretches of wilderness away from civilization for months at a time. These were working class dudes, not rich men. Do you mean to say that for no reason at all, the maintenance cost of a horse has gone up? That the cost of gas per pound has gone up? That you need to take a horse in to get its emissions checked bi-yearly? That you need to register your horse? That you need to have insurance on your horse? That a cop can go up, scan your horses ass with a gun, and know automatically when you're breaking these rules and impound your horse?
