Poised For Greatness: How The Horse Became The Perfect Package Of Strength, Speed, Courage And Beauty

From the trade routes to the battlefield to the farm to the show ring, horses have been an important part of human history for over six thousand years. In this age of cars and orbiting space stations, it's hard to think that a horse could be so important to human history. After all, how could an animal be smart enough or capable enough to be trained to be of such importance? Non horse owners are often amazed to find out that horses have distinct personalities and that they are capable of communicating with people. Research has proven that horses do not just 'behave' without considering the consequence of their actions. They are able to create a mental plan to evaluate how much a person is paying attention to them and to modify their communicative strategy accordingly; horses seem capable of creating a problem solving strategy. The horse has indeed then been a fitting partner for humans throughout history!
