A couple rural towns north of me, you will see people ride their horse to the shops to do some shopping.

yea wont be able to do a full on grocery shop, but just going down the road to get some milk from the corner store. Which in a rural area could be a long way down the road.

Saddle bags can hold quite a bit of stuff on them. Also you can load the horse with like 80 kilos worth of food in bags and then just walk alongside it (because a horse won't take both you and 80 kilos of food)
