Equestrian Use Of Roadways
Equestrian use of roadways was routine historically, and continues to be routine in many parts of the world today. It is subject to a wide variety of regulatory policies, management, and involved several technical issues. Horses on the roadways The use of horses for transportation, either by horseback riding or by using them to pull buggies and carriages on roads, was common before the advent of automobiles. It was the primary form of transportation until automobiles took over in the early nineteen hundreds. However, horses are still used for transport and commercial purposes in certain parts of the world. In some states in the USA, such as Pennsylvania and Ohio, where certain sects such as the Amish reside, seeing equestrians on the roadway is a regular occurrence. As well as a way of life, some people still use the roadway to leisurely ride horses and enjoy their love for the equestrian life-style.

Horse Riders Near Bristol, England, In 2015 Arp
The horse (''Equus ferus caballus'') is a domesticated, one-toed, hoofed mammal. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two extant subspecies of ''Equus ferus''. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, ''Eohippus'', into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began domesticating horses around 4000 BCE, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BCE. Horses in the subspecies ''caballus'' are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior. Horses are adapted to run, allowing them to quickly escape predators, and poss ...
