This is fiction. Moose are highly volatile, fiercely territorial, and prone to attacking without warning, especially during the mating season. Unlike horses, moose are solitary animals. They lack a natural social hierarchy and refuse to take commands from a human leader. Their spines slope steeply at the rear and lack proper skeletal support where a rider would sit, causing extreme stress or panic when weight is applied to their back. Confining them makes feeding nearly impossible due to their strict reliance on specific aquatic plants and fresh tree growth.
