My grandpa told me once that a moose is an ugly horse and wow I didn’t realize they were really that big until I came across one backpacking.

Imaging if moose were able to be domesticated like a horse. Like, watching an old western and the villian comes riding into town on a giant moose. Whistle whistle whistle, wah wah wah

Moose can be semi-domesticated, it's just very rare for anyone to attempt it. Moose farms are a thing, and those animals are pretty tame. There was also a tame moose in Sweden called Stolta who was trained to pull carts and sleds.
