.
The Franks have been breeding horses for centuries, and there were many strong horses in Charlemagne's time
Gallic war horse,
Niseanhorse of Iranian origin, Nisaan horse (extinct)
Iberian horses,
My book friend also told me that the export of these horses was forbidden during Charlemagne's time.
(The pattern is smaller, Manzai.) )
The above test is the supply of the 'machine gun for eating noodles' of this group of book friends.
In addition, I was told about a type of horse, and Ireland loves horses
(This horse became extinct hundreds of years later, but several bloodlines have been passed down),
I took a screenshot of the English encyclopedia in this paragraph.
Irish – Hobby (Irish – hobby) is an extinct horse breed developed in Ireland before the 13th century.
The breed provides the basis pedigree for several modern horse breeds, including a variety of breeds such as the Connemara pony and the Irish horse.
In 1375, the poet John Barbour referred to this breed,
He called them hobynis in his poem "Blues". He also mentions them in his work Reliquiae Antiquae, noting their speed.
And one more person, an Iyrysch man,
Uppone his hobby ran fast......
The poet speaks crookedly, in fact, if I want to say:
, this horse thief Jill is fast!
......
So, how do you raise this handsome horse?
How many meters do you spend every day?
The author read a few articles about the introduction of horse breeding, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and in the end it was like math.
After using a few sets of numbers to compare, I finally had a slightly clearer concept.
Agility is his characteristic, he is versatile and has a certain stamina.
Hundreds of years before extinction, it took on many battlefield functions,
Body height is about 1.32-1.42cm (previous horses must have been shorter than modern horses)
Has a weight of 1000 pounds (453.59 kilograms, which is about three and a half British Hercules)
CAN RUN 97-113 KM A DAY (WE RUN HIM FULL EVERY DAY, GOGOGO)
Now don't count the daily food and maintenance of those, even if you eat,
Converting the price of soft sister currency in 2023 in the cost country,
.
A lot of calories and nutrients need to be consumed, and adequate feed needs to be provided.
These feeds include grains (such as oats, barley, corn, etc.), hay, fodder, and grass, among others.
In the 9th century, the price of grain and grass was very different than it is now, and we cannot determine the cost of feed at that time.
At that time, the purchasing power of the denominated currency was not the same as it is now.
Let's start by estimating the approximate cost based on the feed consumption of modern horses.
Modern horses typically need 1 to 3 percent of their body weight for food and 1.5 to 2 percent of their body weight for hay per day.
Okay, the truth is getting closer!
As I said earlier (263.5), the price difference between 8th-century armor and 14th-15th century armor can be a hundredfold.
low productivity in the early stages, feeding costs, maintenance costs will be higher,
Suppose hobby needs to consume 2% of its body weight of food and 2% of hay per day,
Then it needs to consume 20 pounds of grain and 20 pounds of hay per day.
With the current price of grain in the United Kingdom, the price of a pound of grain is about 0.2 to 0.3 pounds.
The price per pound of hay is around £0.07 to £0.15.
As a result, the cost of feed for this horse is around £8 to £12 per day.
But the historical conversion also needs to take into account inflation,
This is our reference to the historical inflation rate in the UK (not only in the UK, but also in many places on the Internet)
one-pass conversion,
The cost is in the RMB price in 2023
This is equivalent to about 120-200 yuan per day.
Every day!
You thought it was over
No, we still need one last step,
Looking for information on modern people raising horses, prices.
We don't need to raise horses in the local tyrant style, the kind of diamonds that horses eat and oil that they pull.
It's a human thing
We're looking for civilian horses.
In fact, many foreigners have raised horses and share the expenses.
In the end, I defined the self-description of a young lady in a lighthouse country who raised a poor horse,
There are a lot of expenses for raising modern horses, but let's just look at the grain, she has raised 3 horses before and after, ordinary horses,
The cost of forage grains falls at 30-60 US dollars per month (a month, more than 300 soft sister coins),
See, in the 9th century I raised an Irish foal, which was 15 times more expensive.
Considering that we are lords and can breed on a large scale,
It can be extensive, the mountains and forests are my family's,
You can raise it indiscriminately, and the peasant girls are all from my family,
can be blind, so reduce certain expenditures,
But that's it, it's still so expensive,
Note that this is just food, no kinds of skin care products, sick treatment miscellaneous.
(Actually, I watched it again, the young lady's horse is very ordinary and ordinary, but it is at least 8 times more expensive in this era)
In order to point out the Xiliang Iron Ride, the author has very perseverance to verify some of these materials,
Reading the height of this book can learn a little bit of posture,
Read books and learn postures, mom no longer has to worry about you failing the history exam!
It takes me too much time to look up information (longer than I play a chapter),
In fact, there are some stallion lineages, horse sources, I looked at it on the Internet,
But it's too cumbersome to post.,It's useless.。
Not again, British Horse Master, right?
I have to work overtime today, and I'll be better if I go home early, otherwise tomorrow.
It's been a busy few days.
