About this title

Synopsis

This book is meant to be a tribute to the horse. A tribute built from 100 interviews, exclusively organised for the purpose of this book, from people who have one thing in their love and affection for horses. The interviews and a multitude of photographs reflect how the horse has fared over the past century. The book illustrates in a variety of ways how wonderfully great the horse is. The people who give their views Dick Francis, Bo Derek, Luciano Pavarotti, Billy Shoemaker, Lester Piggott, Frankie Dettori and Heinz Wewering. These interviews and photographs together form the modest monument this book wants to erect for the horse. It makes one thing clear above where a hundred years ago it looked as if the horse would become extinct, now at the beginning of the 21st century, the horse is claiming an important place in the lives of many. Book and slipcase.
