Kick past-moderator Offline Posts: 4451 Finland	Chariots and Mounted Combat Nov 17^th, 2021 at 7:35am Found this amazing video that covers the origins of the modern horse, where chariots came from and how mounted warfare came about. Really fascinating and on a topic I had never really thought about or questioned. https://youtu.be/dYw8NnQ1tpk

I wish we had horses instead of cars, it would smell like poopy but it would be cool. P.S.: I didn't write poopy hahaha

You say that, but when you get the bill for hay, stabling, water, food, shoes saddles, bridles and stirrups you might change your mind. Also, "saddle sore" is a saying for a reason
