Summary: The horse has been used in warfare as early as 4000 BCE. There is archaeological evidence in the steppes of Eurasia of fortified towns being built to defend against horse-riding bandits and raiders. In 1350 BCE, the Hittite tribe developed a written manual for the successfully breeding and conditioning chariot horses. Thus, since before written history and throughout the recorded development of mankind, horses have been a powerful ally to victorious armies and successful agriculturalists. In Medieval Europe, the heavy armor of mounted knights required a new style of horses, strong like a draft horse but athletic like lighter breeds. The destrier , along with the courser and rouncey, became the type (not breed) of horse that would fetch the highest price among nobles and elite military officers.

In this free video series, expert Kelli LaBar shows you everything you need to take care of your special horse. You will learn all about hay and grain, how and when to feed your horse, the vitamins needed for a healthy diet, and more. Kelli also teaches you about grooming, cleaning stalls, and providing for your horse’s health and comfort.
