Neigh!!!

I first saw this book whilst touring the Prado in Madrid, and I fell in love instantly. Such illustrations and paintings! Such a wonderful history of the horse, using art as a basis. The only drawback is the relative weakness in Indian court paintings (which are chock full of horses). Other, it's just wonderful. Stubbs fans take note: this is the book for you, and any other fan of horse art (especially little-known peices). So buy this book, and may the horse be with you.
