Salvete Omnes,
a short entry - dr Adrian Goldsworthy, historian & novelist (his Roman period novels are good entertainment ).
So dr Goldsworthy, in a rather typical British fashion of not knowing about Polish cavalry or history (like the Polish and Red army cavalries 1917-45), delivers a lecture on the Napoleonic era mounted troops and use of horses by the armies. - this is the video on Yt.
And some of my old Napoleonic ulan (uhlan -lancer) and cheavulegers art.

| Przewalski horse - its association with Botai |
I started with dr William Taylor, author of Hoof Beats, and his lecture on the archaeological 'broken narratives' around horse domestication in southern Russia and Kazakhstan steppes of west-central Eurasia. (His article on Botai horizon & horses). The 1 hour presentation is followed by a q&a session.
Photos of Przewalski horses and feral/wild horses (known as mustangs in America) - all images are from Wiki Commons.
