An intimate view into the true nature of horses. This gorgeous book
presents the noble and powerful horse in spellbinding photographs,
revealing text, and extended captions. Sabine Stuewer has been
observing horses for years — when they are alone and in groups.
Her images are an indulgent visual treat, revealing the pure beauty
of horses and their connection to their environment and their
companions. Emmanuelle Brengard interprets the horses’ behaviours
— one minute calmly grazing, in a frenzied gallop the next,
grooming each other, nuzzling a foal, battling for a mate —
giving horse lovers a better understanding of the animal. The
book’s sections are: In the Harem — the harem family of about
10 (a stallion and his mares and foals), social order; The Stallion
— charisma, postures, fights between males, reproduction; Mares
and Foals — birth, educating the foals, foal games; The Nuances
of Friendship — hierarchy, games among adults; The Partnerships
— mares and foals, resting and sleep, adults protecting the herd
and grooming; Gallop to Freedom — photo gallery; Finely Honed
Senses — smell, sight, taste, hearing, communication, the gaits;
Fits of Madness — jumps and leaps to release stress and energy,
and to stretch. Those who ride horses will tell you that they are
complex animals possessing a wide range of behaviours. It can take
years of watching and being with horses to truly understand them.
The Horse brings a closer view to their world in a new way, one
that is possible only with the authors’ decades of experience
observing, photographing and interacting with the charismatic
horse. Already remarkable value as a hardback, this paperback is
now even more outstanding. It is an exceptional and personally
meaningful selection for equestrians, breeders, casual riders,
artists and photographers, and all who love horses for their
character and beauty. All will derive great pleasure from this
jewel.
