evolution of the horse helped shape our understanding of long-term evolution in an
animal species.1,2 Horses were first domesticated in the central Eurasian steppes about
6000 years ago according to estimations. Archaeologists found early bridles dating to
4000 BC in Eastern Europe as well as antler cheek-pieces and toggles for mouth pieces
north of the Black Sea. This shows the evolution of horses and how they worked.
AQHA. N.p., n.d. Web. 12 Dec. 2014. <http://www.aqha.com/About/Content-Pages/TheAmerican-Quarter-Horse/Breed-History.aspx>. I learned about the history of the breed of
the horse and it shows how people use horses for many things. This relates to 5 because it
shows what and how people use horses for. The main idea is the history of horses. "But
the story of the Quarter Horse begins long before Texans started tying their ropes and
hard and fast to the saddle horn. The origins of the breed can be traced to Colonial
America." This shows history of the quarter horse. I belive that this is a trustworthy
website because it is the Quarter horse assosiation hence AQHA.

has endured to the present day."(Page 1 artical) This quote is helpful because it shows
