Human relationships with the horse extend thousands of years back into history. They are recorded in cave paintings, immortalized in mythologies, fairy tales, and legends, and celebrated in the greatest paintings, poetry, statuary, and sculpture of cultures throughout the world. No other animal has been so closely linked with people in the principal concerns and movements of life, including communication, transportation, sports and leisure, and warfare. This is a glorious album that celebrates these fascinating relationships by examining and exploring the lives and daily routines of horses from around the world in every environment and occupation, including working horses of every type, racers, jumpers, hunters, show horses, wild horses, cross-breeds, and adorable ponies of every description.
