Germany recently declared horses are no longer work animals but recreational, hiking vet prices astronomically. Also, horses might be driven around now but I'm sure there were more of them when 90% of the population were farmers and they all needed some of them.

How does this hike vet prices astronomically, through taxes?

Vets aren't organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the "Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)".
