Horse by Elaine Walker
From Pegasus to Black Beauty, horses have held a unique place in human society and imagination. This book chronicles the rich and complex natural history of the animal, from wild feral horses to the domesticated species that once played a central role in daily life as a means of transportation, an instrument of war, and a source of labour.
'This is a wonderful book, and every equine student should own a copy! It provides a clear, concise and comprehensive overview of the human-horse relationship, and is written in an engaging and accessible style' - National Equine Student magazine 'This is an objective, beautifully written book ... a rarity, this book is one for both the serious researcher and the simple enthusiast.' - The British Breeder 'This book is a tremendous work. On the one hand the book is warm, engaging and personal, which makes it immensely readable. Yet Walker has packed the pages with a concise presentation of equine history ... the appearance of a meticulous scholar like Walker is a boon for equestrian research and her beautifully illustrated book is an addictive read.' - CuChullaine O'Reilly, The Long Riders' Guild
