as all the others have said nope...
Much better would be a mule but even then for many it wouldnt be ideal..
on top of all the other reasons mentioned
large animals eat alot as well as drink alot and need large amounts of pasture space per head.
Unless you know how to handle a big beast before hand , SHTF is not the time to be learning such things.They are dangerous animals n not something to simply think you can handle, raise and train to work as a work animal in a day or with no experience. Even with experience they can still put a hurtin on you.
Horses are pretty grumpy, crotchety buggers with rotten attitudes as a whole.
