Beautiful show ponies, athletic race horses and nomadic desert horses all get their chance in the limelight in this charming introduction to our equine companions, which includes advice on grooming and care.

Why do horses wear shoes? How do horses 'speak'? And why can't horses burp? Answering twenty curious questions about the equine species, this book is a charming blend of zoology, history and popular culture that celebrates why horses have been such beloved companions for centuries. Featuring a myriad of different horse breeds, readers will discover what’s so unique about a horse’s body and its behaviour, and why they deserve to be well cared for.
