Summary
Before the taming of horses, human lives and activities were limited by the speed of walking or boats, and without the wheeled vehicle transport of goods was restricted to human strength. All this would change when humans had finally established control of the horse, breeding, training and using this unique species, and in due course attaching it to haul chariot, cart and wagon.
