Really amazing video. I read an article awhile ago about how they were using some kind of 5G monitor on racehorses and many horses dropped dead for no apparent reason other than the monitors. Horses are beautiful, sensitive creatures that deserve to be treated with love and respect.
Harnessing the horse was an amazing technological achievement undertaken on the Eurasian steppe perhaps seven to eight thousand years ago. It allowed the Indo-European language family to spread from a small, obscure group of semi-nomads north of the Caucasus mountains to the far reaches of Western Europe, Ireland and Iberia to the sub-continent of India and most places in between.
Thousand of years later more eastern nomads would utilize the horse to spread their nomad empires from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Without the horse as our extended "legs" we humans would have been a lot less mobile during the Neolithic.
I recall as a kid living in a fairly well-to-do part of Connecticut. One day as eight or nine year olds we saw a young woman riding a horse slowly down the road at the base of our driveway. As kids will do, we called out to her. Much to our amazement she turned her horse up our driveway and allowed us to pet the horse; I can't recall if we were allowed to ride it; probably not the risk of that would have been too much. But it was so nice of this young woman to pay attention to a bunch of rambunctious little boys with no sense. I later learned where her family lived in some enormous, palatial manse down the road from us. Never did see her again. Hope she is still alive and well and still has her horses. That would have been almost 60 years ago...
