"A dog may be a man's best friend," some one once said, "but history was by far written by the horse."
An overstatement? maby, Perhaps not. Since humans first domesticated horses nearly 5,000 years ago, the musle
of the horse has played a central role in shaping human culture. They are not only enabled us the use of faster
communication and travel, but also proved decisive allies in military campaigns, with mounted troops often when overwhelming
foot-bound infantry is infovled.
