The discussion is an enduring internet classic of people who have seen horses in The Last of Us ascribing near magical powers to it vs. everyone who ever worked with horses saying this is the worst idea imaginable which is fun.

I'm posting this here on account of the amusing amount of comments that presuposse a horse is a car that runs on dirt and just self heals broken bones

EDIT: Bonus points for "a horse can carry so much more" which is demonstably untrue unless you want the poor thing to die real early or strap a cart to it, at which point you have both horse and bicycle problems

Bicycles are more common than horses and they dont die. If you have several broken bicycles chances are you can make a working bike from em. I would assume an apocalypse would be pretty damaging. You really dont need to go into what is more effective because what is easier to find wins in what is presumably a survival situation.
