Henry Nicholls states in his article on taming animals that the zebra is a “stubborn beast, one that has thwarted all efforts to domesticate it” (3 October 2009, p 40).
However, Walter Rothschild had a team of tame zebras at his Tring Park estate in Hertfordshire, UK, and was often seen driving a zebra-drawn carriage in the 1890s. Reportedly, he was also spotted driving down Pall Mall in London in a zebra and trap. There is a photograph of him in a zebra-drawn carriage on the Natural History Museum’s website (bit.ly/mnHdk).
