The Majesty of the Horse is a celebration of horses through time and the long and eventful horse/human relationship, and is a collaboration between author Tamsin Pickeral and photographer Astrid Harrisson.  It pays homage not only to the physical splendor of the horse- its grace, beauty, strength, and adaptability - but also to its remarkable diversity. The text looks at 90 of the worlds most engaging breeds, many of which are rare, and traces their evolution from the dawn of written history to the present day.
