I know for a fact that the buggy in the thumbnail is how you get to blackwater early. In all seriousness though i remember my grandmother telling me that once upon a time it took days or even weeks to get from one big city to another. Now you can go halfway across the country within hours. Before she died she told me, probably because i loved back to the future, "When i was a child electricity and cars were nothing but a dream thats why you should always believe that you can do something even if it takes a long time its still victory.

Horses from the Middle East are normally of a lighter frame and are know as Warm Blood horse. The European breeds are heavier framed known as Cold Bloods. As for American Continent. The Equss line died out around the last ice age. Fossils have been found but the Horse, Equss Cabalus, was not reintroduced till the Arrival of the Spanish. Cortez is said to have had a horse called El Morzilo, the Black One. Spain had been setteld by the Moors from about 711 CE to1492 CE. This introduced the lighter Warm Blood breeds to the European Cold Bloods. The type the Spanish brought with them were such crosses, eptiomised by the Andalusian breed. Arched thick neck wide back , often long manes. The Mustang is not a Wild Horse, they are from escaped domesticated breeds , so are Feral. Currently, the earliest evidence of domestication is from Kazakstan dating to 3,500 BCE. The closest thing to a true Wild horse breed comes from this area The Przewalski'S Horse. (Though one of the surving lines was crossed with Caballus in the early 1900's). The European war horse , The Destrier ,was developed during the 11th Century, partly for economic reasons, a team of horses plows more land per day than the oxen used previously.

@@51WCDodge I knew someone would have must better detail. I recalled from military history classes of chariot type vehicles from 2-3,000 BC and archeologists' explanations were smaller horses of the time. The 'Age of Chivalary' (literally derived from French word for horse) was in part facilitated by stronger larger horses able to carry an armored rider. While the knight in shining armor did fight battles for their monarch, main reason for knights on daily basis, was to keep peasants and other subjects in line for monarch. The costly armor, training of both horse and rider gave ruler a monopoly of force until availability of firearms, that an unarmed, little trained individual could readily defeat armored knight. By about 1400AD knights in armor were mostly obsolete. Horsed riders turned to sabers and charges. This lasted to about 1914AD when the Maxim, Browning, and other heavy machine guns, with crossing fields of fire, rendered horsed cavalry charges obsolete.

Tip: if you get a buggy/wagon put rubber around the wheels of you are going in parades or stuff it. Especially if the roads are brick you can't even hear yourself think
