Have a farm? Here’s an idea…
I don’t remember ever reading or hearing about this while I was living in Baltimore, but this seems to be something that a lot of mid-sized cities (like Madison, WI or Ann Arbor, MI) with a college campus, a centralized downtown and a plethora of farms doing the organic or sustainable thing within shouting distance of the city, could pull off. I could see a business model in it where a stable on the edge of town could provide the amenities needed for multiple urban horses to live in town. Or, to take it a step in a different direction, maybe pull the carts with a bicycle or scooter and just reduce the size of the cart as needed and have more of them.
