Scrapbooking Theme – Horses
Horses have contributed a lot to human society. They were used as draft animals in the olden days and were even used in wars. One of the main means of transportation back then were horses. It is believed that horses which are considered wild animals were tamed and trained about 4,000 years ago. They have been a partner and friend to humans since then. There are now many different breeds of horses because of their exposure to humans. Some breeds are used for racing while others are bred for specific tasks.
There's something special about the relationship between horses and humans. For centuries, they've been working alongside us, helping us to plow fields and bring in harvests, carry goods and passengers, and explore unknown lands. They're also associated with the concepts of chivalry and cavalier, which suggest honor, respect, good manners, and straightforwardness. In many ways, they're the perfect example of what it means to be a noble and dignified creature.
Are you delighted with horses? Are you one of those who were mesmerized when they saw one? It may be because of their posture, their long and silky hair, their magnificent eyes, or their powerful legs. Whatever it may be, there’s no doubt that horses are one of the many amazing and wonderful creatures in the world. Showcase your memories with horses and create beautiful layouts like the ones you see below!
