Speed and the Thoroughbred: The Complete History
Speed and the Thoroughbred: The Complete History
Out of stock
It has been said that the invention of the Thoroughbred was the single most consequential turning point in the evolution of the horse since its domestication. Its blood has provided the key to superiority in nearly every equestrian discipline. Why the Thoroughbred was created, how, by whom, and how its progenitors survived war, politics and the ambitions, jealousies of monarchs, noblemen and politicians is the subject of Speed and the Thoroughbred. Handsomely illustrated with paintings and photographs, this is the first book to identify and historically trace the three sources of Thoroughbred speed: the pre-Christian Irish Hobby, the 16th century English Running-Horse, and a few Middle-Eastern imports. More than ten years in the making, the author―the most prolific equine author and creative equestrian of the 20th century―believed it was his finest work of equine scholarship. It is the most important and fascinating book ever written about the Thoroughbred., ISBN13: 9781586670405 ISBN10: 1586670409 Material Type: hardcover
