But it is mostly ridden for recreation or kept as a pet in the industrialized world.

Railroads, steamboats, and the automobile quickly took over. The number of workhorses dropped significantly. Still, these new machines were measured in “horsepower.”Electronic communication and new forms of transportation made the horse obsolete for carrying messages. Telegraphs and railroads replaced the Pony Express, which once carried letters across the American West. Advances in communication continued with the radio, telephones, television, and the Internet. harmogre000 https://padlet.com/harmogre000/ou6c81baeu2u/wish/170789960 2017-05-09 15:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/harmogre000/ou6c81baeu2u/wish/170789960 300 breeds harmogre000 https://padlet.com/harmogre000/ou6c81baeu2u/wish/170790687 More than 300 breeds exist today, reflecting the many ways horses have served humans in North America ]]> 2017-05-09 15:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/harmogre000/ou6c81baeu2u/wish/170790687 Native American Horses harmogre000 https://padlet.com/harmogre000/ou6c81baeu2u/wish/170791210 Native Americans quickly realized how useful horses could be.
