Also included are discussions of equestrian sports — showing everything from polo to buzkashi — hunting, racing, jumping, and dressage. Military training is also covered in detail. The fast-growing sport of harness racing, the cult of high school horses, and the training of circus horses all find their place in this book.
There is also a detailed chapter on leisure-time riding that will interest everyone who loves horses. Finally, The Noble Horse illustrates the last of the truly great equestrian peoples — from the Afghans to the cowboys and from the gauchos to the jackaroos. Also included is a very detailed glossary of equestrian terms. Vissza
