Review:
Throughout history the horse has remained a faithful companion to humankind. The Kingdom of the Horse examines, through text and photographs, this human-horse relationship as well as the fascinating story and development of the horse. Beginning with a discussion of the Equus species' evolution, The Kingdom of the Horse traces such notable historical points as domestication--believed to have occurred around 12,000 B.C.--and work profiles, including relay communication support for the pre-Christian empire of the Persian kings. Other interesting topics of discussion include ancient breeds, such as the Arabian, the Caspian, and the Akhal-Teke; horse language; the hunting tradition; and the beloved pony. Author Elwyn Hartley Edwards, the regional chairman of the British Horse Society and author or editor of more than 30 books, delivers not only a thoroughly engrossing read but also a pictorial homage to the horse, one worthy of high praise.
