As far as I've seen, no one has made a thread of this nature yet, but if I'm simply missing it feel free to let me know.
Now this thread is basically for all the questions regarding history that doesn't warrant its own thread: whether it is a question of mere curiosity about daily life in history, a plea for clarification or peer review, or other such questions, this would be the place to ask it.
I'll start it off with a question of my own: Chinese ceramics and art often depict wonderfully built, handsome horses, clearly different from the stocky, pony-sized horses of the Mongols and the nomadic peoples to its North and West. Does anyone have any ideas on what breed(s) they might be, and how they were kept and bred?
