A beautiful reference work for the true horse enthusiast (Library Journal)
Product Description
In this superb expanded and updated volume, equestrian expert Elwyn Hartley Edwards traces the evolution of the horse, covering every major breed of horse and pony as well as the contribution the horse has made to civilization -- in the wild, at work, at war, and in sport and recreation. Chronicling the history of the horse, The New Encyclopedia of the Horse encompasses the early domestication of the horse. This expanded edition features new information on Western riding as well as classical riding styles, and current international sporting events. There are also completely new chapters on horse management, training, and equipment. Visual Breed Guide: There are more than 150 of the world's major breeds of horse and pony photographed in specially commissioned full-figure portraits as well as hundreds of action shots. The origin, history, and uses of each breed are explained, and each breed is brought to life by historical anecdotes and fascinating, little-known facts. Outstanding specimens of familiar as well as obscure breeds are featured, including Dutch Warmbloods and Camargues, Icelandic and Timor Ponies, Morgans and Shetlands, Andalucian and Lusitano, and the Cutting Horse. Brand New Chapters: The new sections on horse management, training, and equipment explain the basics of the proper care of the horse. Information is also included on farriers, feeding, grooming, horse behavior, training techniques, and which equipment to use, including saddles, bridles, and bits. Truly encyclopedic in scope, this is the essential reference for every horse lover.
Reader Reviews
I bought this book because I was a beginner ready to buy a second horse and try a new breed. I picked out a fox trotter based on the smooth ride, and went and bought one, so the book worked well for me. Each breed has a 2 page write-up devoted to it, with a large picture and a couple small ones, plus a map of origin. Almost every picture is color. Interspersed throughout the book are many short articles on a myriad of subjects, with 2 or more color pictures on every page of the book. 450 pages, 9 3/4" x 11 1/2".
