Fully illustrated guide to the most famous and significant horses from history.
Without the horse, humanity would still be living in caves. Throughout history, the horse has been mankind's constant companion, ploughing fields, carrying knights in battle and racing in the 'sport of kings'. In this beautifully presented selection, popular historian and writer James Chambers introduces fifty of the most notable, charming and important horses from around the world. There's the horse who was treid for witchcraft, the horse who trampled a suffragette and the many horses who play significant roles at the turning point of history. By turns funny, informative and moving, The Horse Who... is an ideal gift and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the most noble of animals.
