Bronze Age
How did people in the Bronze Age ride horses?
In the bronze age they had a blanket on the horses back to sit on, but would reins have been invented then? Without reins, how would they have ridden the horse?
I’ve read somewhere that warriors would ride horses full-speed, while using their sword or bow. They used their legs and knees to turn the horse in whatever direction while they concentrated on using bow and sword in battle. Is that possible? I need to know as much as I can about horse riding in ancient bronze age times.
While Bronze age riders might not have had a bridle (head-gear with a bit) the definitely had developed a form of bit-less headgear (similar to a hackamore – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackamore) that has a special type of noseband that works on pressure points on the face, nose, and chin to guide the horse. It can be constructed of leather or rope and allows a tie-point for reins.
YES, you can stear a trained horse with pressure from the legs & knees and your body-lean. As you mention, it’s very helpful in battle.
My Arabian, Khu, knows me and my daughter well enough that she will respond to body-language to guide her… and she will also behave with a bit-less rig. Spot and Ethel though are a little more stubborn and need a bit to ride.
