The Nature of the Horse
Description
Chapter 64: The Nature of the Horse describes how horses were used by powerful Roman figures such as Alexander, Caesar, Dionysius, and many more. The horses would form a very strong connection with their owner, and most would not be mounted by anyone else besides their owner.
