Most pioneers chose not to ride in wagons primarily due to space limitations and the need for livestock to pull the wagons. Riding in wagons could also slow down travel, making it difficult to cover long distances. Additionally, many pioneers preferred to walk to keep their animals healthy and to conserve resources, as riding in wagons could lead to overcrowding and discomfort. Ultimately, walking allowed for greater mobility and adaptability on the challenging journey westward.
