Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides readers through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.
"An emblem of the American West and once numbering in the millions, the wild horse is considered by some today as a resource to be exploited or a pest to be eliminated. Now the wild horse is on the verge of being removed entirely from our nation's public lands. Wild hoofbeats takes us deep into Adobe Town in Wyoming's Red Desert and one of the largest remaining wild herds in America. In passionate prose, but above all in stunning photographs that are both intimate and grand, Carol Walker convinces us to take the future of these elegant, exceptional animals to heart"--P.

Born on a farm in Africa, riding before I could walk, it still came as a surprise to my mother when I announced one day that I wanted a pony of my own. But I had to prove I was serious about my sudden infatuation of horses and who better to prove myself on than clever Deborah the donkey, who knew far more than I did and had many tricks up her er..hoof? Share my childhood where Zebras walked in the house, bombs blew up in maths lessons and freedom came at a price. Like every child I aimed for glory but life always has some unexpected turns on the way. Happy reading.

With 'credible and powerful' tapestry, HOOFBEATS reflects on, and probes historical events and figures.
The horses and ponies who have come into the life of Laverne Harris have inspired stories, many of them funny, some of them sad, but all of them memorable.
Spanish Gold is a charming novel that follows in the hoof-prints of a very special Spanish horse on his journey through life, through good times and bad.These memoirs follow Cantinero's journey from the beginning of his life in the beautiful marshland of Spain's Doñana National Park, to Germany, England and then Cyprus. Cantinero's words weave a story upon life's tapestry; teach us the suffering that horse-kind can endure at man's hand, and yet also shows us the good that can be achieved through selfless acts of kindness. This noble horse became an icon that stole into many people's hearts, helped them to achieve their dreams and changed their lives. He was a great teacher and a true soul-companion, as well as being one of the most majestic and beautiful stallions to walk this earth. Dancer, heart-thief, courageous friend, a soul of fire, a leader and a gentle diplomat. In these memories, is he honoured.
