A history of the (now rare breed) Shire Horse, the society's they registered with and them men who have been involved with them. Keith Chivers held a lifelong interest in Shire Horses, which is displayed by his active work researching the breed, culminating in his numerous published works. Thiss book 'The Shire Horse, A History of the Breed, the Society and the Men', is regarded as the definitive history of these horses. He was also a regular contributor to the Shire Horse publications, Heavy Horse World, and Heavy Horse and Driving, from the 1970's up until his death in 1998. During the 1980's he played an important role in the Shire Horses Society's History With A Future project, which investigated the role of the Shire Horse in the modern world. He was also involved in establishing the Shire Horse Archive, where his own research notes were complimented by donations from individuals, and which he helped to run alongside his daughter Elizabeth. Quite a scarce book, also a huge heavy book (like the horses), extra postage may be required.
