520			_a"Horses" by Roger Pocock is a detailed examination of equine history and behavior written in the early 20th century. The work delves into various aspects of horses, including their origins, varieties, and the relationship between horses and humans, showcasing Pocock's rich knowledge as a frontiersman and his passion for the animal. It analyzes how the horse has evolved and adapted to different environments through history while also highlighting the practical aspects of horsemanship. The opening of "Horses" sets the stage for an exploration of the horse's origins, discussing how they were created by divine forces and evolved from ancient ancestors. Pocock provides a historical perspective on the horse, taking readers back to prehistoric times while explaining their evolutionary adaptations, such as the transition from reptilian ancestors to modern horses. He also introduces the idea that the environment has significantly influenced the development of equine varieties, which is a theme that will be expanded upon in subsequent chapters. The introduction and initial reflections draw readers into the broader themes of the book, preparing them for an intricate look at the relationship between humanity and horses throughout history.
