Book Description
Using horses for transportation changed the world much like computers and social media have changed the world today. Once the power of the horse was harnessed, horses and riders, or horse-drawn carts, could cover huge distances at great speed. As a result, trade routes developed and cultures began to intermingle. It is hard to imagine, in this age of cars and orbiting space stations, that a horse could be so important to the development of an industry. By tracing the history of just one thing, beverages, we can, in a small way, see the importance of the horse. So, the next time you lift a glass - or teacup - offer Cheers to the Horse! for all he has contributed to your modern way of life!
