Horse anatomy, behaviour, breeds and the long working partnership with people are covered in the photographic style the Eyewitness series is known for.
Spreads combine cut-out photography with short captions, moving from evolution and skeletal structure to breeds such as the mustang and the thoroughbred, and on to riding, harness work and the place horses hold in different cultures. The format supports quick reference for a school project and slower browsing for a reader who simply likes horses.
The short version:
• Evolution, anatomy and behaviour explained with labelled photography
• Breed coverage from wild herds to racing bloodstock
• Sections on care, equipment and working roles
• Part of DK's Eyewitness reference series
Suited to young riders, animal enthusiasts and school libraries, published by DK Publishing and available from Boipoka.
