Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Today, just as fifty years ago, the horse plays an important part in the
lives of many people. However, through the last five decades, his role in
society has changed considerably. For thousands of years the horse was the
beast of burden, an animal used for hauling loads or for drawing the
plough, as a mount for the warrior, a strong back to carry him into battle
and to give his military master the superiority of the mounted over the
mwerely pedestrian. since the ancient Greeks-whose knowledge of equestrian
art has been surpassed-the horse has been used as transport, as motive
power, as a utility."
