  • Summary

  • Human history is also the history of the horse, says Dr Timothy C. Winegard in his superb book, “The Horse: A Galloping History of Humanity”. He charts the story of the four-legged human companion like no one has before. Horses have had an outsized cultural and practical contribution, including their influence on language, clothing and transportation. From the evolution of horses 60 million years ago to their pivotal role in shaping civilizations through trade, warfare, and culture, this podcast delves deep into the influence of these majestic creatures.


    Chosen as one of the best books of 2024 by The Economist, Timothy's tome is a gripping read.
