An informative and photographically illustrated equine history

The Complete Horse: An Entertaining History Of Horses by Cheryl Kimball (a member of American Quarter Horse Association, Arabian Horse Registry, and the New Hampshire Horse Council) is an informative and photographically illustrated equine history, that also includes its lore, myths, legends and iconic presence in pop-culture. Authoritatively guiding readers through a comprehensive survey of a multitude of breeds and variations of horses and their involvement in human history, The Complete Horse addresses the origin of the Clydesdale, bucking attributes of any horse, the Zebra, a horses brain, the polo pony, and even such tangential niceties as how to make a decent Mint Julep. A welcome and prized addition to any personal, school or community library "Pets & Wildlife" reference collection, The Complete Horse is recommended as an intriguing descriptive history and profusely illustrated tribute to the role and value of the horse.
