About This Book

A wide-ranging survey of the domestic horse and its relations with humans, tracing domestication, riding gear, and evolving horsemanship alongside descriptions of breeds, conformation, temperament, and common faults. It discusses speed, endurance, feeding and unusual habits, and examines wild and feral populations and their habitats. Chapters profile equestrian peoples and military traditions across Eurasia, present regional breeds and anecdotes, and include narrative sketches from the Caucasus and India. Practical observations on shoeing, saddlery, and riding customs are interwoven with short historical and personal anecdotes illustrating human use and treatment of horses.
