  In this book Suares relies on his horsemanship to dive into the emotional, aesthetic, athletic, and poetic world of the equine. The mystique and power of the untamed horse, the heroism of the war horse, the dependability of the work horse, the pleasure and thrill derived from the companion or show horse these are but a few of the reasons this noble creature has inspired love and reverence throughout all cultures. With photographs of everything from Roy Rogers and his fabulous palomino to the intrepid seabiscuit, from great jumpers to Viennas Lippizaners, from Arabian stallions to thoroughbred mares and their foals, from rodeos and wild mustangs to ponies and their children, The Big Book of Horses is sure to warm the hearts of horse lovers everywhere. This 384-page tome with more than 230 images printed in duotone taken by such passionate horse photographers, including Mark J. Barrett, Bob Langrish, and Alain Laurioux.
