About This Book

The author traces the horse’s origins and historical distribution from antiquity to the late nineteenth century, arguing for an original habitat based on historical evidence and challenging traditional claims about Arabian superiority. He examines early appearances of horses in ancient civilizations and the role of trade and migration in their spread. Subsequent chapters survey the development of the English race horse, critique pedigree traditions and stud-book practices, and document previously neglected colonial American horses. The work concludes with an account of how trotting horses were bred and established in the United States, supported by maps, portraits, and contemporary research.
