Description

Whether you live to ride or just admire horses, you'll get the inside track on all things equine in this must-read compendium. From breeding and behaviour to medical tips and trivia, plus historical and contemporary facts, you really can't do without this book. How long does it take a foal to learn to stand? What's the difference between a pony and a horse? Why can't a horse wear a cast on a broken leg? How do directors get horses to fall down in films? Does a horse know if it's won a race? How much horsepower does a horse really have? Do horses have good memories? This book is another reason to celebrate the mutual love, trust and devotion between humans and horses.
