Stephanie Kirchner's commute to work became more time-consuming, but, she says, cheaper. The 33-year-old from Germany left her SUV at home and switched to real horsepower.
Kirchner, a breeding farm owner and horse trainer, reveals she decided she couldn't keep driving after fuel prices skyrocketed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"Because I suspected that hay harvesting and everything else would become much, much more expensive, I said we have to save a little money," she stresses."
As the Washington post reports, the woman, along with her cart and two horses, travels a daily route of about 6 km from her home in western Germany to her job. That turns the trip from 10-15 minutes to an hour.
However, she estimates that, considering how much fuel her Toyota SUV consumes, she saves about 250 euros a month.
Her wagon is particularly popular with children and adults alike. The woman acknowledges that her answer to punctuality and rising fuel prices is not for everyone.
"I can't put a horse in a garage," she says. "I think a lot more horse riders would do it if opportunities were created for horses," she continues.
