[Video]
[Don't question why this dipshit is doing this video outside with a mudbray leaning against his side and... well, at least the krabby is still on his shoulder and a crabrawler is sitting on the other shoulder looking quite pleased with herself.]
Right, so an interesting question came up in a conversation with one of the people I'm travelling with.
This place is quite odd as it is, as are these creatures, I know back home that horses were the primary mode of transportation. Whether by riding, carts, caravans, etc. In this place, is that still the case or are some other creatures used for those types of tasks...?
[He's shifting the camera to look at the mudbray who looks a little surprised to have the camera at her and is immediately bucking back with a loud little whinny. Lovely.]
Clearly she isn't much yet, but according to the guide on these creatures, she'll somehow turn into a draft horse...? Weird, but clearly knights and draft horses are quite one in the same in how they operate. But yes, if you happen to know any other creatures suitable for riding, please do let me know.

At any rate, I do agree that it is not a vehicle which does well outside of snow, or sand. However, we arrived in the midst of fall, and then quickly into winter. It, combined with its sled predecessor, did us well for five cities here in Johto. This includes going through a few snowstorms - we could cover the top of it with a tarp, offering brief shelter.
[For people or their belongings? Yes.]
However, unless you know a craftsman, it can be difficult to find a sleigh... Especially in the warmer months.
Here in Johto, they celebrate a winter holiday called 'Christmas', and it is heralded by a hero named Santa Claus. He steers a brilliantly red sleigh, pulled by a powerful Stantler, and it is loaded with gifts that are bestowed upon those who have done good deeds throughout the year. As far as I can tell, sleighs are popular in the winter for this reason, and some people dress as Santa to help spread good will and as a show of respect.
We were fortunate to find an old and used sleigh that one such person was looking to replace, and he was glad to sell it to us because of that. We had to inquire quite a bit about such a thing before we found it... I am afraid I would not know where you would find a newly made one, and it would no doubt be expensive.
