In vivid and dramatic photographs and with an ardent and lyrical text, this stunning book provides an in-depth look at horses and horse-loving cultures throughout the world
Following the passion that led her to the four corners of the globe, Jacqueline Ripart traces the history of riders and horses. From Mongolia, where the youthful heirs of Genghis Khan race horses in fantastic costumes, to Canada, where real-life cowboys perform in rodeos, and from Spain, home of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Arts, to Japan, where modern-day samurai practice the equestrian martial art of yabusame, and to Argentina, where gauchos ride the versatile criollo horse to herd sheep and cattle on the pampas, Ripart takes readers on a spellbinding tour. Horses of the World reveals how horses are tamed and trained, pampered and paraded, raced and revered the world over.
