Fulfills subtitle's promise

When THE ENDURANCE HORSE claims to be a "world survey of Endurance Riding from Ancient civilization to Modern Competition" it meant it. The first 9 chapters relate notable endurance riding situations from history, including the Assyrians, Alexander the Great & Bucephalus, and the Mongols. The next section of the book deals with modern day riding. The final section discusses Endurance Riding in various countries. I found the book a good introduction to the subject and the history section a great resource as a writer.
