Worldwide, horses play a role within human cultures. Horses are used for leisure activities, sports, and working purposes. Communication between human and horse is paramount in any equestrian activity; to aid this process horses are usually ridden with a saddle on their backs to assist the rider with balance and positioning, and a bridle or related headgear to assist the rider in maintaining control. This book studies human interaction with horses including horse training, horse track, mounted police, and horses in the Napoleonic Wars.
