683 - HORDE

Sophie had a vERy menial job cleaning dishes in the large café/restaurant. It wasn't much better when she got home when she had the chore of doing the washing and generally keeping the household running smoothly. Finally, at the end of the day, she was able to sit down and read her latest library book. This one was all about the history of the horse. She was fascinated to discover that the people who tamed the horse and developed much of what is used today when riding horses (eg bridle, bit and stirrup) were the various horde groups of the steppes of Eurasia as long ago as 3500  BC.
