Susanna Forrest, ‘The Age of the Horse: An Equine Journey
Through Human History ‘, 2016
“....For we use the horse in more ways than any other
animal: we ride on its back, attach it to wagons and ploughs, strap packs to
it, drink its milk, eat its meat, go to war on it, cherish it as a pet and have
turned it into a symbol of everything from wealth to political power, purity,
lasciviousness and human suffering. In 5,500 years of domestication, humans
have transformed horses’ bodies into everything from buttons to thrones....”
