Beginning

Everything started as a dream. The dream to tame a horse came about unexpectedly. Once I have noticed loose horse in the field and the owner. I will never forget those eyes. Both horse and owner were scared. Later I understood that to tame horse it is more than just to sit in the saddle. It is only possible for those who are prepared for tedious journey to learn horse language. Its all about trust between horse and human and that doesn’t come quickly or easily.

Imagine the period when the most common source of light in the darkness was a beeswax candle. When even most noble people used to travel on the horse back. When life of a warrior in the battle was very much dependant on a small sturdy horse courage and stamina. There was a time when war chiefs discovered undeniable truth that war horse must be small, corageous and very much maneouverable. This truth is supported by oppinion that most closely related equine sport discipline to war cavallery is polo sport.  Exclusively aristhocratic game is very much similar to old days strugle for survival on the battle field.
