35 Vintage Photographs of People on the Horseback in the 1900s

For 5,000 years the horse has been an ever-present ally in war and peace. Civilizations have risen and fallen on their backs and evidence of the horse’s use is everywhere to be seen.

Horses were used in war, in hunting and as a means of transport. They were animals of high prestige and importance and are widely represented in ancient art, often with great insight and empathy.

Here below is a set of wonderful photos from The Past on Glass at Sutton Archives that show people on the horseback in the 1900s.
