prestige of the horse

The domestication of the horse is the set of domestication processes that lead the human species to master and then use the species Equus caballus (the horse) for its own benefit through birth control and the breeding of these animals for the consumption, combat, work, and transport. Numerous theories are proposed, both in terms of time, a number of foci of domestication, and types, species, or subspecies of domesticated horses. Later than for food animal species, the domestication of the horse is difficult to date with precision. The first tames could date back to the end of the Upper Paleolithic, 8,000 BC. The first archaeological evidence of domestication dates back to 3,500 BC. AD in the steppes in northern Kazakhstan; is the result of the Botai culture. These horses are not at the origin of the current domestic horses but were the ancestors of the horses of Przewalski, which became wild again. Other evidence suggests outbreaks of wild horses and then of distinct domestication in the Iberian Peninsula, and possibly in the Arabian Peninsula.
