As the saying goes, you can take a horse to water, but you can't make it watch a documentary about its own awesomeness. For the record, know how it really goes: you can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. It's a way of saying you can lead someone to an opportunity but you can't force them take it if they don't want to. The phrase dates back centuries, with an appearance in a 16th century book of English proverbs. Phrases involving horses are many and maybe it's a sign of how much we love horses. We as humans are so bonded with horses that they are central in cultural stories around the world, sometimes are intertwined with our identities. Horses are amazing animals that have been integral to many events and eras in our history.

We've compiled some of the best documentaries about equus: the history of the horse, the mythology that surrounds them, and some notable names and tales (tails?) in the horse world.
