This book shows the whole diversity of the horse world. Over 550 horse breeds from all countries are portrayed. Powerful cold-blooded horses for pulling heavy loads, enduring small horses of the Central Asian steppes, elegant breeds for representational purposes, robust everyday horses for farm work, modern sport horses for today's demands - the breeds are as versatile as the needs of people are different. With detailed illustrations and precise texts on appearance, character and use, the book covers the horses of faraway Asia, the breeds of the New World and the diversity of Africa, Arabia and Europe. The horses are drawn by the scientific illustrator Bris, texts by the biologist Rousseau.
