Historically, war has been the only way that nations can prove their worth, wealth, and strength in this world.]
Many people are unaware of how important horses are to human civilization.
Partnering with these noble companions often determined our victories and defeats, triumphs and losses throughout historical warfare. They, too, have endured the emotional scars and sufferings of our hard-fought battles.
Discover how Horses served various purposes in the most prominent battles of the past centuries.

While they may be unable to rationalize their emotions, this doesn't mean they don't feel them.
