The Word “Equestrian”—and Even The Latin Variant of "Horse"—Can Be Traced to These Early Europeans! New evidence from ancient skeletons (above) shows the earliest signs of horseback riding among these humans, who giddy-upped some 5,000 years ago. These early cowpokes, thundering through present-day Europe, didn't look like Annie Oakley or John Wayne—but they likely used horses for advantages in herding, exploration, and trading.
