Answer 3

Think about it. In the 1800's there were two or three rental stables on every block in New York City and the manure was causing so much disease that when the automobile came along they were able to pretty much clean up the city. Of course the first autos were either electric or steam, but the politicians likes gasoline vehicles, because even back then they realized they could make tons of money backing special interest groups like big oil, timber, etc.

Answer 4

I'd imagine now, as 200 years ago horse were still being used in battles, and so many would have got killed

Answer 5

Two hundred year ago horses were also a source of food for travelling armies.. well the Belgium army anyway so there was probably more

Answer 6

I recently read an article about it. Yes there are NOW, but in the 1950's the number of horses had decreased enormously (after ww II and recession after, made horses not very populair, and there was no need for them!

Answer 7

I wish I knew but I don't think there was an accurate count 200 years ago

Answer 8

There was more 200 hundred years ago

Answer 9

There must have been more 200 years ago because they were our main source of transport, both ridden and harness. We used them in agriculture to pull ploughs and carts. They were used in pits to pull the coal wagons, and we had cavalry. They moved goods around the country and small businessess used them to make deliveries.

Answer 10

Probably more today. Wild horses in the west were not protected two hundred years ago, but they are today.
