Horse Domestication

Horse Domestication is the historical process within the broader phenomenon of animal domestication whereby *Equus ferus caballus* was selectively bred and behaviorally modified by human societies, particularly on the Eurasian Steppe, to enhance traits suitable for riding, traction, and subsistence, thereby enabling transformative developments in mobility, warfare, and social organization in prehistoric and historic cultures.
