If I had to own a horse, cow, or a dozen chickens

 I would own a horse to travel so I can travel from my beautiful house in the woods to a town to buy goods. Horses are awesome and better than cows and chickens when it comes to travel but cows and chickens are very delicious. I wouldn't need cows and chickens that much because I would have a farm. I would use the horse for hunting and for rounding up farm animals like sheep. My horses name would be Epona. I would be riding Epona with surge(forward movement).
