PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY: A beautifully illustrated and detailed guide to the world's horses.
Horses of the World
is a comprehensive, large-format overview of 570 breeds of domestic and
extant wild horses, including hybrids between the two and between
domestic breeds and other equids, such as zebras. This beautifully
illustrated and detailed guide covers the origins of modern horses,
anatomy and physiology, variation in breeds, and modern equestrian
practices. The treatment of breeds is organized by country within
broader geographical regions--from Eurasia through Australasia and to
the Americas. Each account provides measurements (weight and height),
distribution, origins and history, character and attributes, uses, and
current status. Every breed is accompanied by superb color drawings--600

Describing and depicting every horse breed in existence, Horses of the World will be treasured by all who are interested in these gorgeous animals.
