Horses too may be described as a cosmopolitan companion species. To use the term ‘globetrotting’ for world-travelling invokes an equestrian metaphor. Eurasian steppe history, mindful of its contributions to human domestication of the horse (Anthony, 2007), is particularly replete with images of groups of horsemen, massed cavalry, appearing at first as the sound of drumming — hooves on hard ground or hard-packed sand. Then a spectre of dust arises and the horses and horsemen themselves appear, galloping relentlessly onward. This image haunts steppe history-writing (Landry, 2009b) as it haunts literature and popular culture.1 Throughout Eurasian history, from the Pontic-Caspian steppe to Anatolia and the Eastern Mediterranean, the horse has been an essential partner in humans’ mobility for millennia, powering migration, war, conquest and empire, but also peaceful exchange (Landry and MacLean, 2012: 338–42).2
