This guide to the world of horses and horse riding traces the development of the horse and its integration into early society, and how countries developed their own breeds.
Those of us who choose horses ahead of golf, sailing, cycling or tennis as our favourite pastime are the lucky ones. Whatever your connection with horses, whether you ride once a fortnight at your local riding school, enjoy racing on television, are a horse owner, or if horses are your living, you are part of an on going relationship that began several million years ago. The idea of sharing a common thread with the ancient horsemen of Mongolia may seem far fetched bin think about it next time you are about to ride. Apart from certain refinements of breeding, the horse is essentially unchanged and shares the same instincts and impulses as his brothers on the steppe.
As a rider, once on horseback, you can forget mobile phones and faxes. You are bereft of all mode means of communication
David Broome says, communication with a horse is dependent on based on immense resources of intuition, persuasion and sympathy. To gain a little knowledge of horses is to discover how much you will never know. This book is aimed at all those who have embarked on that jouey.
