Why did people stop using horses as transportation?

Answer 1

• There is no way that the world could function with horse-drawn carriges. We would not be where we are right now if we were still using horses.
• I hate this fact, but it is clearly driven by peoples greed for money and power. I would personally be fine with riding horses around town and cities again. Its much more energy efficiant and we can use the manure for fertilising crops and fields. It may not be AS hygenic but it will be worth it.
