The Long Walk 

An epic novel by Stephen King while he was writing under the pen name of Richard Bachman. The story follows 100 "walkers" as they participate in The Long Walk. The Walk is an event held each year in which 100 boys under the age of 18 walk for "the Prize"- whatever they want for the rest of their lives. There is one problem though, if your walking speed falls below 4 miles per hour for over a minute and a half, you are shot and killed until only one walker remains.

100 boys participate in The Long Walk, only one survives.

I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long run 

This is a common olden saying that was said a lot back in the olden days. I think I heard someone say this one time awhile ago. You'd rather have a horse that could walk to the water, than two horse that'll cost me more in the long run.

Man that reminds me of the saying "I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long run"
