We may love our motor-powered vehicles, but we still get some help from horses.  Not so much in transportation as in therapeutic settings... horses help people with PTSD and other challenges to calm down and heal. 

Horses and how they work with us also provide some guidance for how humans relate to each other.  That's what Linda Kohanov focuses on, in her book Five Roles of a Master Herder: A Revolutionary Model for Socially Intelligent Leadership
