Excerpt from article:

"Almost a quarter of this year’s US corn crop is expected to be
turned into fuel. Drought in Australia has added to the food prices
spike, which is feeding through to world inflation."

But it still takes "fuel" to feed the horse. G

You put them on the lawn. (I do that with all three of mine.) What they
produce from trimming the lawn gets fed back to the garden in time.

Don't think that a good buggy and harness and horse cost any less than a
car, though, those days are pretty much gone. And my big boy produces
more than his share of methane -- and it's usually when I'm grooming his
tail.
