Horse tells the global history of horses and humans, from Ice Age hunters to Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan, and from the medieval knights of France to the great horse cultures of Native America. Included are stories of horses at work, at war, and at play, both wild horses and famous horses, and horses in art, books, and movies. Since earliest times horses have shaped the way humans lived by providing sustenance, transportation, status, companionship, and the ability to establish, expand, and destroy empires.
