This area has a lot of Amish, and they still use horses a lot....and there is a big market for wagons, and farm implements....don't see them just riding them too much.
If some one was to travel by horse back, may be useful.....but you really have to have the experience level and gear.
My friends have several....mostly riding and barrel racing.
A few have mules for night coon hunting.....a mule won't run you off a cliff or under a low limb.....or so they say.....
Still a lot of work, and money.............
Next door neighbors had a couple of big older horses (kids rode them).......then got a couple of mustangs for out west.
They didn't have enough pasture....and would let them on my land....by "accident"......long story but were finally had to give them up........
I'll take a truck any day.
