New Book for Horse/Human History Fans

[sami-joe]

While I haven’t read the book yet, Tim Winegard’s “The Horse: A Galloping History of Humanity,” his enthusiasm for horses is infectious, his facts seem mostly correct, and I thought some others would enjoy this interview with the author via The Eclectic Horseman.

Wow, thank you for sharing this. It is absolutely fascinating and makes me love and appreciate horses even more.

Wow, I hope my library carries it, off to check.

Not having luck in library or at my favorite used book dealer

Two books that I know Winegard had to have read in order to write this book you will be able to find new, used or in the library:

and

I’ve read the first (though it’s academic and it takes awhile to get to the horse bit, it’s worth the wait) and a sweet review of the second (just ordered it used) that I’ll attach.
