Horses have played an important role in human history for centuries. Before cars and trains, we relied on them heavily for transportation. The term horsepower is still used today as a unit of power and dates back to our reliance on the strength of horses. However, mankind’s relationship with horses extends beyond utilitarianism. Horses are intelligent and social animals, capable of forming emotional bonds with humans. These qualities are readily apparent to anyone who spends time with them.

Horse tattoos are a popular choice of tattoo for those who value freedom, independence, and power.
