Wherever man has left his footprints in the long ascent from barbarism to civilization, we will find the hoofprint of a horse beside it. J. T. Moore The Horse Nation and Humankind have been partners in the growth of civilization and human development since the dawn of time. The survival and destiny of the two species has been inextricably intertwined throughout the mellinnia, both witness and participant in nearly every important event in the evolution of human history. Horse and Human have stood shoulder to shoulder for thousands of years, involved together in all of the conquests, explorations, expansions, and settlements that have shaped and built our world. More accurately, humankind has ridden the back of this strong, durable, loyal partner through countless wars, migrations, and developments, resting comfortably atop, or in a wagon, or a carriage behind this magnificent ally, always confident and reassured in the knowledge that the incredible strength, loyalty and enduring spirit of our horse brethren would win the day! The eternal bond between human and horse has been forged by the white heat of the battlefields of Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte, and sculpted by the cool winds of Asia as the hordes of Ghengis Khan flew across the vast plains of Mongolia, horse and warrior as one. It was a divine relationship as the huge, noble Draft horses of the Crusades, carried the knights of Christian Europe into their holy war against the Muslim warriors of the East. The Muslims armies arose in defense of their holy land and faith and rode to victory on the backs of their quick and agile Arabians, running deadly circles around the armour laden invading Christian forces and saving the day for the followers of Allah. In Biblical times, as the Roman Empire expanded through out the world, Equine and Human gazed through the same eyes, tortured witnesse to the crusifiction of Christ. The bond between Human and Horse has been nourished throughout the centuries, as countless societies and civilizations survived and flourished from the food harvested from generations of horses toiling, without complaint, for endless hours plowing and cultivating the fields that sustained life for humans all over our world. Horse and Pilgrim shared in the labors of love, cooperation, productivity, goodwill and unity that symbolize our celebration of Thanksgiving. A family, partners in peaceful harmony. Horses tirelessly pulled the wagons of generations of pioneers in America and the world, transporting restless, relentless armies of settlers through harsh, unforgivable terrain, impassable rivers, dry and deadly deserts, frozen snow covered mountains and unimaginable hardship. There is no Westward Ho! without the dedication and drive, cooperation and courage of the Horse. There would be no America, and no expansion and settlement of the human race almost anywhere on earth without the service and sacrifce of the Horse Nation!
