I have a vague recollection of seeing old photos - from Kenya at the turn of the 20th century I think - showing zebras harnessed to pull a carriage and another of them jumping a fence with a rider. But I also remember reading somewhere that zebras can't be tamed or domesticated. (mind you they used to say that about African elephants and they have since been tamed).
Do you think that if you reared a zebra foal among domestic horses it would think it was a horse and would behave like one? I hope so, because I know you can buy zebras at game auctions in South Africa. And I would love to annoy some of the more stuck up horsey types that I've come across by entering one into a showjumping ring or dresasage test. Or even a polo match.
