FWIW horses are now transported in nice trailers and get fancy hairdresser treatments. Well played horses, well played.

The horse population in the US has dropped by more than 70% in the last 100 years (21M to 6.6M). In the same timeframe, the human population has increased 320% (105M to 320M), so the drop in "relative horses" is from 0.20 horse per human to 0.02 horse per human, or 90%.

How cool are you with the odds of your entire family surviving the next 100 years standing at about 10%?
