The Horse: From Arabia to Royal Ascot (Exhibition at the British Museum)

[pling]

On Monday afternoon we went to look at the free exhibition the British Museum have on till the end of September about horses. To be honest I was much less interested in this in advance than other exhibitions we've been to, but it turned out to be more interesting than I'd expected.

ContextThis exhibition was part of commemorating the Diamond

It is argued sometimes that the first record of recognisable horse-racing goes back to the Koran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Adiyat
(The Bible, by contrast, has working horses, military horses, and scary horses made of fire.)

Ah, that would likely be the justification for the Korans then :)
