20,000 years ago herds of wild horses roamed the landscapes of Europe. They inspired people to paint caves, but were also hunted. It was only much later, in the Bronze Age, that horses were tamed and used as draft and riding animals. Today there are efforts to preserve the last wild horses. An afternoon for horse lovers with a wide range of activities.
