The horse as transport is another obsolete theme.If I were to take a packhorse shopping there would be endless trouble.
Shops do not have hitching rails and the animal would be a target for every misaligned youth in the district.
We live in a world where policehorses wear armour and visors and ambulances are regularily hounded and vandalised.
Assuming I could tie the beast to a convenient lamp-post the Health and Safety Fascists would descend on me claiming that two rear hooves and a mouthful of teeth were offensive weapons and copious bowel movements presented not Predigested Compost but an unacceptable Biohazard!
