About this book
Horses is a book by Roger Pocock. The contents list names, among others, chapters called The Origin of the Horse, Habits of Outdoor Horses, The Conquest of the Horse and The Soldier Horse. The text says that as the slow tremendous change of the Earth's climate narrowed the forest, there was no longer food for all the woodland animals, and some of them ventured out into the open glades.
The text says that the horse-ancestor who went out into the open was as yet no bigger than a sheep and still wore three toes on each foot, but that the grass diet agreed with him. The text says that Old Kublai, busy building Pekin, sent the Polo brothers as envoys, riding post with the golden tablet, to visit the Pope in Rome and ask for a batch of priests. The text says that the best and most rapid training the writer has ever seen was given in open field by a Regular soldier who abstained from losing his temper.
