Well, C3PX, you very well could afford it, if you sold off your car and other unnecessary gadgets you own. Then you own a mode of transportion that is totally immune from being shut down by an EMP weapon or fuel shortages. I recommend a good old fashioned American Quarterhorse, your looking for trouble if try a thoroughbred, too many health problems. You'd just have to have plenty of hay, feed, and DO NOT put it in a pasture with anything it could trip over. Believe me, if there is one thing in a pasture that a horse could trip over, it will find it and trip!
