Taken from Chapter 9: Arabian One of the world's oldest horse breeds is the Arabian. All modern racehorses are descendants of Arabians that lived and raced over a thousand years ago. Arabians are small, powerful horses with long legs and arched necks. They are admired for their speed, grace and high spirits. Arabians are beautiful, but they are hard to handle.

Review:

Horses has all the necessary ingredients for a good non-fiction book. . . The strength of the book lies in the combination of the simple yet factual text, visual appeal and a popular subject area -- Carol Fitzpatrick, Resource Links, Feb. 1996
