Zlatý kůň was part of such a social world.

She had parents, possibly siblings, probably children at some point in her life.

She had social relationships — some chosen, some given by birth — that constituted the human fabric of her existence.

She had knowledge, accumulated over years of living in the Bohemian karst, about where resources were, when different animals moved through the landscape, how to read the signs that the environment offered.

And she had relationships with a community of people who knew her face — who recognized her, cared about her, depended on her in various ways.
