Everything In This Country Must left me confused and amazed. How much the father must have hated soldiers that eventhough the saved his favorite and prized horse, once they left he went to the barn and shot the animal. What was the poor man thinking? Im not ssure about the prices of horses in mid 80s england but here a fully trained draft will bring anywhere from 1000 to $8000 depending on pedigree, conformation, and temperment. The man is also left without what seems to be a very capable plow horse. besides the economic impact the man has lost another piece of his family or atleast thats how my horses are treated. So whaat is the difference between him killing his favorite horse and the soldiers accidently killing his wife and son either way the family shrinks.
