The Horsestory series highlights the diverse roles horses played over the years, and, when available, relates the stories of specific animals.
A recurring theme in this second volume is change. At that time, equines were relied upon to power nearly everything that required power. But automobiles and other machines encroached on horses' territory until in the 1920s, automobiles outnumbered equines.
