Wrong!
A horse from 1000 to 4000 RMB would most likely be a very bad horse. It most likely wouldn’t be able to pull the cart, and or would have a very bad attitude. Try Again.

Wrong!
Spending between 500 to 1500 probably isn’t even enough to buy a cart. If it is, either someone is giving you a great deal or its going to fall apart. Try Again.
Go Back

Wrong!
Spending 250 to 500 RMB is to much. The harness doesn’t use a lot of materials so its fairly cheap. Try Again.
Go Back

Wrong!
It used to be this cheap, but farmers stopped growing the right plants. Horse food is made out of corn and the stalks/leaves of plants. Everyone that was growing beanstalks converted to onions for more profit, which have much less leftover bits. Try Again.
Go Back

This is WAY to long. By then the horse shoe would have loosened and fallen off. Its hooves would be damaged to. Try Again.
