As a horse lover (and former horse owner, until the fat little guy died a couple of years ago at the age of 35!!!), I loved this article. Very interesting, thanks for posting, and Doc (my horse) always knew that he came from a noble line of critters responsible for civilization.

35? That’s a really, really old age for a horse.

I was wondering how long before someone else spotted that. I left it in because I like to make my own fun. ;^)

He had a great life, and a long, long retirement once he became sway backed and unrideable. He lived at a barn where the owner runs a riding program, and because he was a gentle, patient horse, all the little girls loved bringing him treats and even painting his toes with glitter. I think that was why he lived so long!

I can’t help but think that there is a sampling error if their conclusion that the eclipsing of Neolithic hunter gatherers by R1a (Yamnaya?) took place without horses. Chicks dig a dude with a mobility, horse or wheels depending upon the epoch, which to me accounts best for the disappearance of Neolithic hunter gatherer dna.

The first man who decided it might be a good idea to mount a horse and see what happens was a very brave man. Even if his life did have a sudden and tragic end, he paved the trail for others to follow.
