In those days the West was

The distances were great and
there were few houses. For that
reason a man was dependent on
his horse.
He had to go on horseback for
food and for the mail, and in
case of sickness for the doctor
because. you see. there were no
telephones or even telegraph
wires. So you just couldn't live
If you didn't have a horse.
