BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Man has relied upon the horse for centuries - without it
our lives would be very different. Imagine history without this faithful,
reliable creature - lack of transportation would have meant lack of
exploration, wars would perhaps have taken a completely different course,
communities would have remained in isolation. We owe our present freedom and
knowledge to this noble animal. Although no longer as valuable to us in its
working capacity because of the increase in mechanization, the horse is
taking on a different role, that of companion. With the increase in leisure
time, people are discovering the joys that riding can bring, and more and
more youngsters yearn to keep their own horse. After so many centuries of
hard work, it is perhaps time that the horse had a well-deserved rest, even
though some may argue that show jumping, horse racing and the mere presence
of a rider could hardly be called rest. Nevertheless, the usefulness of the
horse is far from over. Horses and Foals, with its beautiful pictures and
interesting text, is an attempt to bring these wonderful creatures alive for
the reader. It traces their ancestry, from the Dawn Horse to the present day
Thoroughbred, and covers a variety of aspects from their role in agriculture
to their own version of Body Language, from play to their contribution to
sport. A small section on the importance of diet and grooming is included,
as these play such a vital part in the well-being of the horse. Whatever its
use in the future, it is hoped that man has learned to appreciate the horse
for the true friend it has become. Any questions, please email me.
Great starter book for any young person who loves horses.
