The best book ever for horse and animal lovers!
A one-of-a-kind horse book like no other-every page surprised me with a brand-new story.
Step into the extraordinary-and often untold-life of the horse throughout history. From ancient civilizations to modern-day innovation, there is hardly a corner of human history untouched by the horse. In this captivating collection of astonishing true stories, you'll discover how these remarkable animals have left their hoof prints on nearly every chapter of our past-and fall in love with them all over again.
Perfect for readers of all ages, this book delivers the wildest, most fascinating horse history you've never heard before.
Inside, you'll discover:
- The most famous horses of the last five thousand years.
- Personal, written accounts from soldiers and the deep devotion they held for their warhorses.
- The unbelievable jobs horses performed-from battlefields to coal mines, lifeboats, fire brigades, ferries, and even locomotives.
- How horses played vital roles in religion, rituals, warfare, marriage, tithing, and the afterlife.
- Incredible true stories of women who gained independence on horseback-and helped change the world.
- How the horse directly influenced the design of the Space Shuttle and other modern inventions.
- How exploration reached the North and South Poles (including the surprising role of horses eating meat).
- How the entertainment and movie industry began-thanks to the horse.
- Medical breakthroughs made possible with the help of horses, many of which will astonish you.
- And so much more.
The stories are endless. The history is astonishing. And the legacy of the horse is far greater than most ever imagined.
A powerful tribute to the horse, this book reveals the extraordinary contributions and untold fate of these remarkable animals. Both moving and eye-opening, it is the perfect gift for anyone who loves horses or history. There is nothing else like it. WINNER 2022 Equus Film & Arts Fest Best in Equine Short StoriesAlso from
