Horses went from pulling the cart, to being replaced by the automobile, then being pulled BY the cart. Horses win.

As a horse myself, I'm glad to see our history covered

Horses have a great memory and can remember people and places for many years. They can also remember specific training exercises and respond better to trainers they've worked with before.

It's really amazing how much horses have helped us, yet they are commonly overlooked. When we see roman civilizations and their inventions, we miss the fact how horses have been pulling the chariot to their success in their daily lives every day. In dramatic Crusades with valiant knights, we don't see the warhorses they ride. They really have led us to the path to innovation.

"um, ok" the first ridden horse

One thing not mentioned is how much selective breeding has impacted the size of horses. Wild horses usually weigh 600-800 pounds, while domesticated horses are usually over 1,000 pounds, with some heavy draft horses weighing over a ton. When you consider that horses shouldn't carry more than 20% of their weight, yet can pull up to 1.5x their own weight if the load is on wheels, then it's clear why chariots came before mounted cavalry.

Only two animals have a natural positive response to humans smiling; dogs and horses. That tells you everything you need to know about how important they’ve been to our culture and how closely we’ve evolved together. Even though I’m nervous around horses mostly because they’re so big I can still see the close bonds they have with their owners.

as a central Asian I can say that in our culture horses have a really important role, horse is one of the 7 treasures in Kazakh culture and there are a lot of customs that are related to horses, incredible animals!!🤍

Who run the world? HORSE

We've forgotten that one of the selling points of early cars was it was environmentally friendly. It didn't poop all over the place.

No matter which time period people are in, they all collectively agree that horses will always be majestic creatures

I like how the animators managed to make the visuals simple yet powerful in telling the story. It was a pleasure to watch, as always!

Gengghis khan said “it’s easy to conquer on horseback, but it’s hard to control over it when unmounted”

I hope this guy never stops being the narrator

Meanwhile, I've always wondered why I've always really liked horses when I was a young boy. Thinking beyond just chalking it up to being a personal preference, I nowadays can't help but wonder if there's some epigenetic component to some of us taking a liking to them given our whole history.

Turns out that humanity has been horsing around for a long time. Did I know how long before this video? Neigh.

That last smile,😃 I still remember those old days

That's so fascinating! Our crew recently talked about the history of the bison in North America that once roamed in their millions across the great plains of the USA. Unfortunately, these one-ton prairie giants were hunted to the brink. At one point, only around 300 were left. Thanks to conservation efforts, there are now roughly 20,000 living on wild grassland and some 500,000 on ranches. But until recently, no bison roamed truly wild in the United States, away from fences or human protection. Now, though, all that's changing, and we got it on camera.

As a horse person, I am very impressed with the animation. It actually looks like a horse, and walks and gallops like a horse.

As a fan of My Little Pony I have to agree that horses are truly man's best animal friend.
