THE WAR HORSES OF EASTREN ASIA

Using horses in battle is a act of evolution. when a warrior on horseback or one in a horse drawn chariot it changes the combat to a point of over throwing civalisation's. Because if a warrior's on a horse they will not get as tired as a warriors on foot and can travel much longer distances. The reason that i say it is  a act of evolution is because when a army sets out on horse back they are evolving to the point  of having what now in days would be called troop transport. in this article i will focus on one part of eastren asia. The part i will focus on is japan. There were horses in japan for a very long time actually since the stone age. Inturestingly most horses decended  from  imports from china and korea. And even though there were records of horses since jomon period witch is a bout 12,000 BCE. But horses were barely used. And when they were they were used for agricultural needs. Not combat. they were not used in combat. Infact using horses in battle was not even mentioned until the writings of kojiki. And even those were tales of fiction. That is all for this installment of the war horses of eastren asia.
