Whilst perhaps not formally a Warhorse project output, as such, here’s a new edited volume called ‘Harnessing Horses from Prehistory to History: Approaches and Case Studies’ that was edited by our research fellow Katherine Kanne and the, now graduated, project PhD students Helene Benkert and Camille Vo Van Qui and has a forward by Alan Outram. It contains some warhorse-related chapters and much more besides.

This book corrals a herd of specialist authors from seventeen countries that explain their disciplinary approaches and provide case studies of human-horse relationships in the past, including archaeology, history, classics, art history, literature, and veterinary medicine. It overviews key methods, theory, period, and area studies. Aimed at scholars wanting to understand and incorporate research outside of their speciality, or those who wish to undertake collaborative projects, it is also designed as a starting point for students and non-specialists to pursue the study of horses in the past.

Our project also features in the August 2025 issue of BBC History Magazine, on sale now…
