About this listen

Have you ever wondered why humans chose to ride horses? It was a moment in history which changed the future of both species forever.

This relationship has endured for over five thousand years, and the horse has been described as one of the greatest technologies that man has ever harnessed.

Horses are prized for their speed, strength and adaptability, and revolutionised transport, war, farming and more. But it hasn't always been a happy partnership.

Listen and enjoy
