An Early History on the Domestication of Horses (HORSES OF EUROPE TRILOGY, #0) / HORSES OF EUROPE TRILOGY (ePub)

Have you ever wondered from where man's best traveling companion originated or perhaps speculated about how we formed the unique bond we now have with horses? Within this introductory expose and its subsequent trilogy, we'll follow the horse's journey from the dawn of mammals to the world of today, from their earliest beginnings to their involvement in great cavalry battles and wars to their present-day uses in equine-assisted services for the wounded and hurting. Here, we'll explore their evolution, examine horse myths that are centuries old, discuss their role in early warfare, and chronicle the extraordinary lives of individual horses that changed history forever.

When pondering the origins of man's most noble companion, you might conjure up images of dashing knights upon stocky white stallions! But the horse played a much more significant role in our history than just entertaining nobility during fox hunts or charging around during jousting tournaments. For centuries, we've needed horses to aid us in our battles, for agricultural responsibilities, and for the transportation of humans and goods. And perhaps unbeknownst to most, there was a time when horses were part of our food chain. Our relationship with the horse might be complicated, but it is worth studying to understand our hoofed friends better and perhaps even have a greater appreciation for them.
