Horses have been pictured in art since the early tomb renderings of Ancient Egyptians. Their use as a means of transportation has been captured in battle scenes of old, images of the Wild West, and as an icon of Native Americans and cowboys. Today in art, the horse is depicted for its beauty or symbolism, and in sports such as horseback riding, horse racing and Grand National odds, and British fox hunting.
