Medieval Cart MOC and why no horse shoes?

[durazno33]

So I put together this Lego cart below and I thought the build style was fun enough to share.  The "column" pieces made good hay bundles and the side panels gave just enough room to hold them to make a good sized cart.  But there was another problem.  The horse was too short and it make the cart tilt forward.  That's when I got the idea of putting either hooves or horse shoes depending on what you want them to be.  The horse was taller and even had a fun style element. 

This made me wonder, why doesn't Lego put hooves or horse shoes on the horses?  It makes for a fun extra element so maybe I'll start adding them to my horses now.

The video shows how to make the cart and will give a few more angles than this title screen can show.  I also included a couple stop motion scenes to add a little fun. Enjoy!
