Explore how horses think, feel, and work with people—from ancient legends to daily life.
This collection invites readers to see the horse not just as a working animal, but as a partner with a rich social life, history, and natural instincts.
Drawing on stories and observations, the book explains horse behavior, care, and training in plain language.
