If my players wanted to do an experimental heroquest for a magical item that lets their horse pull a plow faster, I'd certainly let them.  Although their kinfolk might protest about such a remarkable waste of resources when they could always have quested to get Barntar's magical plow, which is five times better than a normal ox-plow (instead of only 20% better like the horse-collar) and can plow through solid rock! Or even better, they could get Barntar's blessing for the entire clan making everyone's task easier.
