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.
Looks at horses and their history with human beings, examining how they have been used in hunting, warfare, performance, competition, ceremony, and celebration, with illustrations that showcase how people decorate them.
