Re: Who needs a horse...???
I have thought about those often but they lack the cargo capabilities I would like for the bush in Alaska and around the house in the lower 48. I will stick with my UTVs and ATVs. For running around the lower house it doesn't have the range for to and from town and the UTVs are road-legal. Part of ...
