Horses of the subspecies caballus are domesticated, yet feral groups of tamed horses exist in the wild. Horses and humans engage in a wide range of sporting events, non-competitive leisure hobbies, and jobs like law enforcement, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy.

Horses have traditionally been employed in combat, giving rise to a vast range of riding and driving tactics that employ a wide range of equipment and control systems. Humans first domesticated horses approximately 4000 BCE, and their domestication is thought to have spread by 3000 BCE.

A horse is frequently understood to symbolize liberation in dreams but can also have darker connotations. A white horse denotes death in particular Christian artwork, whereas a pale horse indicates starvation in the Bible’s book of Revelations.

According to particular readings, the first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the rider on the white horse, is Jesus Christ.

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

Horses are strong enough to pull up to three times their weight, carry over 400 lbs., bite with a force of over 500 PSI and kick hard enough to kill a human.

Just as dogs are trained, horses, too, are trained. When a trainer begins training a horse, he begins with simple commands such as forward, backward, and turning right or left.

These simple directives begin a new existence in which the horse learns the fundamentals. When asked, the horse may even acquire sympathy for his master and bow its head down to touch the rider’s legs calmly.

This list is inexhaustible; a horse can do it all with complete commitment.

We stop exercising our trust in God when we believe we have mastered life and spiritual growth, just as a trainer stops training a horse once it begins to follow simple orders.

This is a ridiculous assumption that we can master trust in God alone. The Bible says we die daily- working for our salvation.

Belief is only the first step in growing closer to Him. And the more connected you feel, the more successful the results will be in your personality.

The relationship between a horse owner and his pet strengthens as he romances his pet regularly. The same is true of our connection with God.
