With more than 300 compelling photographs that capture equine beauty and majesty, accompanied by lists, quotations, excerpts, and bits of nostalgia, this all-inclusive compendium explores horses in their myriad manifestations: the rough-and-tumble style of the Western horse and the elegant refinement of the Eastern show ring; horses in the wild and horses in the safety of stable and paddock; horses at rest and horses in motion; mythical creatures and workaday partners; friend of the farmer and companion to the aristocrat. 1,001 Reasons to Love™ Horses will be cherished by anyone who rides or attends the races, remembers reading National Velvet or Misty of Chincoteague, was enthralled by Seabiscuit and The Horse Whisperer, or simply is captivated by these lovely creatures.
