Thousands of years ago, on the central asian steppes, an amazing symbiosis ocurred between horse and man. This blending of two extremely "dissimilar" species would have far-reaching consequences for World History. But what drew men and horses to join forces? Who were the first people to approach horses? For what reason? Who had the improbable idea of mounting a horse and guiding it from a position on its back? And what environmental pressure made this imperative to do so? In this adventure we'll witnes the origins of horsemanship and how horses empowered humans. Riding with the Cimmerians and the Scythians, we will discover how horsemanship upset the power balances of natons. History as told from horseback will give you new insights about the past and a special appreciation for the role of the horse in molding today's world

Once There was a Horse is a powerful, moving story of horses written from the perspective of horses - not humans. This book is composed of 19 Chapters, each portraying horses at different points in their 55 million year evolution. There are 263 pages of vibrant prose, stirring poetry, historical notes, original fairy tales, and satire - all designed to honor the beautiful, Sacred Soul of horses. The author has drawn upon his deep experience in spirituality and his animal Soul to paint this inspiring, touching collection of horse portraits from various points of Earth's long history. The theme of "Once There was a Horse" is that horses are intelligent, strong, wise, sentient, powerful Beings. They are a mirror for humans to see themselves more clearly. The book examines the role of horses in the foundation of civilizations and shows the amazing, sacrificial service of horses to homo sapiens over thousands and thousands of years of their faithful service. Additionally, the book examines the cultural bias of modern Euro-centric cultures and shows how the matriarchal, female, mare-led horse herds and bands have much to teach human cultures - which have become dangerously patriarchal, masculine, and unbalanced. The book also examines the marvelous way in which horses have continually adapted to both subtle evolutionary challenges and to sometimes sudden, mass extinctions on the Earth. Anyone who has ever felt their heart rate rise a little upon encountering a horse will absolutely love this book!

"Kari Weil's new book takes readers back to an era when horses were an inescapable part of daily life and when horse ownership became an increasingly realizable dream, not just for soldiers, but for middle-class (bourgeois) boys and girls. It charts the rise of the horse as an integral part of daily life in Paris (as work, sport, and food) and the social, political, and affective changes that brought about and followed from the presence of horses on streets and in parks, in the show ring and race track, and even on plates. It also ably traces a rise in "equestrian rhetoric," whose sexual, class, and racial inflections were influenced both by Anglomania and by colonialist attraction to the "hot-blooded" horses of Arab countries. Moving between literature, painting, natural philosophy, popular cartoons, sport manuals, and tracts of public hygiene, this book seeks to understand the changing relations to horses who straddled conceptions of pet and livestock, existing between objects of affection, on the one hand, and material as well as symbolic capital, on the other"--

Weapon. Legend. Energy source. Shaper of cultures. Center of controversy. Throughout U.S. history, the horse has served as one of the most powerful influences on the country's development. Beginning 55 million years ago with the evolution of the horse across the Great Plains, this story charts its extinction in North America, its reintroduction to the continent by the Spanish, and eventually, its profoundly consequential acquisition by the native peoples of the plains. From there, the story tracks the horse's incredible contributions-through warring and racing and hauling, through companionship and servitude and strength-across the broad arc of the country's next 300 years. Soplop employs the horse as a narrative thread not only to bind seemingly disparate events, but also to allow for the inclusion of figures often written out of traditional histories: women and minorities. Through a modern lens, she skillfully weaves together science, literature, and policy to trace the fascinating account of how one animal shaped the nation. Captivating illustrations by Montana artist Robert Spannring, interspersed with Soplop's stunning photography, add further depth. This book is for anyone interested in exploring an unconventional perspective on history-no horse knowledge required.

Honorable mention, 2007 Lewis Mumford Prize, American Society of City and Regional Planning The nineteenth century was the golden age of the horse. In urban America, the indispensable horse provided the power for not only vehicles that moved freight, transported passengers, and fought fires but also equipment in breweries, mills, foundries, and machine shops. Clay McShane and Joel A. Tarr, prominent scholars of American urban life, here explore the critical role that the horse played in the growing nineteenth-century metropolis. Using such diverse sources as veterinary manuals, stable periodicals, teamster magazines, city newspapers, and agricultural yearbooks, they examine how the horses were housed and fed and how workers bred, trained, marketed, and employed their four-legged assets. Not omitting the problems of waste removal and corpse disposal, they touch on the municipal challenges of maintaining a safe and productive living environment for both horses and people and the rise of organizations like the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition to providing an insightful account of life and work in nineteenth-century urban America, The Horse in the City brings us to a richer understanding of how the animal fared in this unnatural and presumably uncomfortable setting.

On July 6, 1906, Baron Gustaf Mannerheim boarded the midnight train from St. Petersburg, charged by Czar Nicholas II to secretly collect intelligence on the Qing Dynasty's sweeping reforms that were radically transforming China. The last czarist agent in the so–called Great Game, Mannerheim chronicled almost every facet of China's modernization, from education reform and foreign investment to Tibet's struggle for independence. On July 6, 2006, writer Eric Enno Tamm boards that same train, intent on following in Mannerheim's footsteps. Initially banned from China, Tamm devises a cover and retraces Mannerheim's route across the Silk Road, discovering both eerie similarities and seismic differences between the Middle Kingdoms of today and a century ago. Along the way, Tamm offers piercing insights into China's past that raise troubling questions about its future. Can the Communist Party truly open China to the outside world yet keep Western ideas such as democracy and freedom at bay, just as Qing officials mistakenly believed? What can reform during the late Qing Dynasty teach us about the spectacular transformation of China today? As Confucius once wrote, "Study the past if you would divine the future," and that is just what Tamm does in The Horse that Leaps Through Clouds.
