The last decade has seen an explosion of scientific research on the horse. In The Nature of Horses Stephen Budiansky explains the insights of modern science for the benefit of horse enthusiasts of all kinds.

'The Nature of Horses gives a cool, logical and sometimes humorous appraisal of what it means to be a horse...This book should not only be savoured by horsemen and horsewomen worldwide, but by anyone who purports to enjoy animals and what is left of the natural world around us' - Sylvia Loch, Financial Times
