Horse lovers are insatiable in their quest to learn more about
their favourite animals, and it's no wonder: Horses are powerful,
graceful, communicative, beautiful, and fascinating. "Knowing
Horses" captures all the mystery and magic of horses, for both
devoted equestrians and non-riders, answering such questions as:
What flavours do horses like best? Are all Appaloosas spotted? How
do you read a horse's body language? What's the difference between
neighing and nickering? Who was the fastest Thoroughbred racehorse
ever? What's the difference between trotting and pacing? How are
movie horses trained to fall while galloping? Presented in a
friendly Q&A format, the book is as informative as it is
entertaining. It addresses temperament, abilities, physiology,
diet, behaviour, and the deep, long-standing relationship between
horses and humans. It explores the mind of the horse and
demystifies the animal's quirks and idiosyncrasies. Like the animal
it celebrates, "Knowing Horses" is sure to capture the hearts and
imaginations of horse lovers everywhere.
