Horses

[Fisherking]

It really breaks down to the animals social structure.
In order for a species to be domesticated, it has to be able to recognize you as a master or leader over it.


Horses are difficult to break, but once broken, they are usually subservient. Zebras don't break.

Zebras can and have been trained but they have a nasty temper and are difficult to handle.

The are looked upon as nonedomesticateable. Several other equines fall into this also.

Zebras have a heard structure similar to horses so over a long amount of time it could be possible to domesticate them…but they are so nasty no one would really want to.

Breaking is a bad term…many animals won’t break but can be trained. They really aren’t big enough to ride like a horse and wouldn’t last long in that capacity.

Horses are always trying to improve their rank even with humans. Mine is very dominant but trying to make her do something is much harder than showing her how and getting her to cooperate. Just like it would be with people…sooner or later they will make a break for it. But if they are willing they will always stick by you.
