Book Description from the inside of dust jacket

This delightful book, with its lively, informative text and beautiful, full-color photographs, explores all aspects of the world of horses. Their story is one that covers many thousands of years - from eohippus, the tiny dawn horse to equus, the horse as we know it today. Since its domestication the horse has been a faithful and constant companion, both in work and leisure. This is a superb introduction to many of the world's breeds: the mongolian wild horses of the gobi desert, the splendid, purebred arabians, the sturdy native pony breeds and the impressive heavy horses. There is all the glamour of the horse show, the excitement of racing, the thrills of the rodeo, and the pleasures of just owning a horse, whether for showing or family riding.
