Our history in America has long been tied to horses. They've helped us travel from coast to coast, hauled goods and even helped us grow all of the food we've needed. But one part of their history that's often overlooked is how integral horses have been in our military.
In this episode, we look at how wars were won thanks to these animals and how they continue to serve in the police and military today.
