Abstract
Horses were first domesticated in around 3500 BC by the Steppe people of Euroasia, modern-day Kyrgyzstan (Kelekna, 2009; 398). The horse is an extremely fast, strong, courageous, and intelligent animal; qualities hard to tame, and yet most human exploration and conquest was done on the backs of horses. The horse has been instrumental to human achievement. The relationship between horse and man is significant throughout history (Kelekna, 2009; 398-403). This relationship runs deeper than the horse only being used as a tool. There exists a deep bond between man and horse.
