Which is of cause an utter cop out.Simple, delay/slow down the progression and discovery of gunpowder weapons.
That becomes difficult when you're actually keeping horses in work (e.g. in condition to carry a trooper plus weapons long distance)... at the place I go riding we've got eight horses running on 40 acres: even with that much grass the two thorougbred who are in regular work (trail riding, show jumping and cross country... none of which measure up to a 20km march and still being energetic enough to put in a charge to two afterwards) need extra feed to maintain condition (not so the three Standardbreds... but none of 'em see much more than the occasional light trail ride).That depends on the terrain. If you're on decent ground, you can get at least part of your horse's food supply from local vegetation and grass. You can't forage for gasoline!
