Description
From wide-eyed little girls to experienced Thoroughbred owners, few people are immune to horse fever. “1,001 Reasons to Love Horses”, the most recent addition to STC’s successful series, revels in the wide variety of equestrian activities and celebrates the timeless bond between humans and horses. With more than 300 compelling photographs that capture equine beauty and majesty, accompanied by lists, quotations, excerpts, and bits of nostalgia, this all-inclusive compendium explores horses in their myriad manifestations: the rough-and-tumble style of the Western horse and the elegant refinement of the Eastern show ring; horses in the wild and horses in the safety of stable and paddock; horses at rest and horses in motion; mythical creatures and workaday partners; friend of the farmer and companion to the aristocrat. “1,001 Reasons to Love Horses” will be cherished by anyone who rides or attends the races, remembers reading “National Velvet” or “Misty of Chincoteague”, was enthralled by “Seabiscuit” and “The Horse Whisperer”, or simply is captivated by these lovely creatures.
