Horses?

What the fuck is the point of horses? Seriously? In today's world what purpose do they serve? They don't function as pack animals anymore, we have trucks for that. They don't function as mounts for long journeys, we have automobiles. They don't really work as glue either, cows work just fine. They don't work as farm animals, since we have tractors... or oxen.

Pretty much all they do is eat a shitload of grain, poop, and be pretty fucking useless.

unless shit goes bottom's up, an apocalypse of sorts ensues, and we need horses to be mounts for our enforcers - knights. That seems like the only realistic reason to keep horses around.

So... keep doing what you do horsies... you shall be needed soon enough.
