Moreover he this way always an extra horse had at itself, could this necessary be.
Also the horses could stop this way abruptly, which the javelins with an enormous speed could be thrown to the antagonist.
In these times the horses not only served as appliances in war time, but were them a full member of the family. The horses did not become in stable obliged, but were certain to a rope, in the middle of in the tent camp of the nomads.
The horses had therefore a narrow contact with their owner eigenaren. If a mare had veulenen, them by the women in the tent to be put and got the skid to drink from the hands of the woman who had milked the mare.
