Welcome to the site "A GUIDE TO HORSES". The purpose of this site is to educate and inform anyone who wants to know more about the basics of English riding. Horses are very loyal and affectionate animals, and they will treat you the same as you treat them. Horses can be trained, or kept as pets. Most horses also enjoy other horses as company, that way they feel like they are in a "herd", which is how they would live in the wild.
The actual domestication and riding of horses can be traced back to 4500 BC , although the first actual archaeological evidence that horses were being ridden and used as work animals can be found about 6,000 years ago, when a horse fossil was found with a bit in its mouth. Today, million of people enjoy the company of horses all over the world, whether they are riding, showing, jumping, or simply spending time with them.
Hopefully this site can answer your questions, and teach you about the equestrian world.
