This book presents "a chronicle of the horse's relationship with the peoples of the world--as a mode of transportation, a means of farming, a companion, and a weapon of war. It covers the profound impact of the species in an extraordinary story of evolution, revealing just how much of our existence we owe to this amazing animal. Six thousand years ago, humans domesticated the horse, and have relied on it as a key tool in everything from military influence to agriculture. The horse's strength and speed is crucial to its role in the history of humankind, lending a hand in expanding trade networks and colonial conquests, and acting as an agent of disease and even as a source of energy. Horses are markers of civilization, and their populations have been used to track people's movement and settlement around the globe"--

When FE88 qualifies as an enforcer of The City Of Power's rules, her life becomes marginally more secure, not least because she has the love and support of a member of the city's underground resistance to help her stay sane. But then she discovers that the only light in her otherwise dark existence will be assigned to her as her next kill. She resolves to resist the regime that gives her no choice but to obey, and save the life that is hers to take - but is shocked to learn that it is her own life that must be preserved at all costs. Without her, the future of both enforcers and humans is uncertain. Even with her, it isn't guaranteed, for her hatred of human nature runs deep. When the city falls, it is a horse who proves to be the two races' best chance of co-existing. If he can succeed, the pathway laid down by the horses of the past will remain open. But some tasks are too great for one horse alone...

I have no explanation for my equine obsession, except perhaps that I was born under the sign of Sagittarius, the centaur-archer.I'm sure my parents got fed up of fielding questions such as, "If the postman brings me a pony can I keep it? Can it live in the back garden? Can it sleep in the shed?" And, most importantly, to my literal mind: "How will he get it through the letterbox?"These questions, and many more, lie behind this collection of chatty articles and social media posts.I do, of course, have horses in my garden. Not to mention bats in the attic.

Discover the secrets of equine behavior and transform your relationship with your horse The day you meet your horse for the first time is the day you cherish forever. Imagine walking on a lush green paddock to see your horse for the first time. He is tethered to a fence, his beautiful mane billowing in the wind. Your heart races with anticipation, your pulse quickens, and you feel drawn to your horse. You walk up to him, extend your hand for the horse to sniff, waiting for the moment when he'll allow you to pat him.... but the horse pins his ears back, swishes his tail, and tries to kick you! That doesn't make for a very good memory, does it? If this happens, you might wonder what is wrong with your horse... why was he acting crazy? Only he wasn't, you just didn't know how to read his behavior. Your horse is not necessarily trying to misbehave or cause trouble.
