Transportation - Animals
Dunno?
If you can keep a horse healthy (and fed), it seems like a good idea. But we don't have many good resources on how to care
for a horse post-oops. Plus, it seems certain there aren't many of them left...Infected, particularly large groups, are able to
run down to exhaustion most large game.
Things to keep in mind:
- If a horse is hot/sweaty, do not pour/spray cold water on it - this can fuck them up bad. Do give them the option to
drink water often.
- Grass and hay is the best over-all food, but remember it takes them a relatively long time to get enough from grazing. If
you can supplement with corn/grains, that's good, but make sure they get grass too to keep their digestion going.
- A horse needs just as much rest as you do. It can walk for most of a day, but if you have to go faster to avoid Infected
(and a horse will need no prompting, see below) remember to rest the horse for five times as long as you ran it.
- Infected will *freak horses out*. You pretty much lose your ability to make navigation decisions if your horse hears or
sees an Infected, and though your horse is fast it is not smart - be ready to jump off and go it alone if it makes a critical
mistake.
