Review:

"If you love horses and want to know as much as you can about them, then The Way of the Horse: How to See the World Through His Eyes is for you." Beginning with a thorough discussion of the equine background, including the evolution of horses, their heritage, hot- and cold-blooded breeds, and life-span characteristics, editor Jane Kidd proceeds to the senses in chapter 2--sight and hearing, horse as herbivore, balance and coordination, intelligence and survival--then horse behavior in chapter 3, and health and fitness in chapter 4. The final chapter is in Q&A format, with topics ranging from specific behavioral problems and health concerns to grooming techniques and gender-specific issues. Filled throughout with more than 300 full-color photographs and illustrations, this beautiful book is perfect for the devoted horse owner and those who admire this magnificent animal from afar.
