Résumé

For thousands of years these noble and versatile animals have provided people with 'horse power' for transport agriculture and war as well as for exciting sports such as chariot racing and steeplechasingThe book shows how horses vary in size and appearance from zebras to donkeys giant Percherons to tiny Falabellas. Spectacular photographs reveal the tenderness of a zebra mare and her foal the glamour of show jumping and the natural behaviour of a herd of Przewalski's horses the only living ancestors of all present-day breeds.Horse is a unique and absorbing introduction to the wild and domestic horses of the world - their grace spirit and age-old role in human society.
