Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This nonfiction picture book about horses has a fresh focus- how people over the ages have decorated horses in special ways. Organized into three categories-warfare and hunting, performance and competition, performance, and ceremony-the book introduces horses such as the chariot-pulling war horse of the Persians to the rose-decorated winner of the Kentucky Derby.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
