About this title

Synopsis:

War Horse is the story of the U.S. Army Remount Program, which acquired well-bred stallions from private owners and placed them with farmers and ranchers across the country for breeding to selected mares. These stallions of impressive bloodlines-Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Morgans, and Lippizaners-were bred carefully, developing a cadre of military-worthy horses for the United States and its allies around the world. This book shows how these horses positively contributed to the outcome of conflicts and wars waged the world over and how the war horses also had strong civilian demand and dramatically influenced equestrian bloodlines across our country.

About the Author:

Phil Livingston is a lifelong horseman and equestrian journalist, and the longtime horse editor of Western Livestock Journal and editor of Paint Horse Journal. Ed Roberts is a lifelong horseman and cattleman and has been executive secretary of the American Paint Horse Association for twenty-six years.
