The Kingdom of the Horse gloriously celebrates the horse, tracing its fascinating evolution from very early origins as a feral dawn horse over 55 million years ago. It recounts how the horse adapted in a constantly changing environment to the magnificent creature that is the modern horse. It also relates how horsemanship and equestrian sports have developed into sophisticated art forms. Sumptuously illustrated chapters detail the horse's historical and active role in war and its place in art, myth, and legend. Each chapter, written by an equine expert, gives an unmatched perspective on a host of subjects of interest to anyone who loves horses. The Kingdom of the Horse features a mini encyclopedia that profiles fifty major breeds from around the world. Each breed is pictured along with a detailed description of its characteristics and information on how the breed is put to use. With its more than 300 stunning color photographs, this is truly a gift book to give or receive.
