It argues most so called wild breeds descend from domesticated stock, with only central Asia possibly housing original wild stock. It notes horse diffusion, horse behavior, and the legacy of domestic breeds in Britain and Australia.

Sound confined by deep well at Cansbrook castle
The 200 foot deep and 12 foot diameter well at Cansbrook castle Isle of Wight shows sound confined by smooth interior masonry allowing a pin dropped from the top to be heard at 182 feet below. An Indian waterworks example notes voices 18 miles apart via an 18 inch water main no longer used for water. Queen Victoria’s clock, a Louis Seize piece by Lepante of Paris, has an ebony case and requires winding once a year.
