Wild Horses A Spirit Unbroken, By Elwyn Hartley Edwards, Softcover, 8 ½ x 11, 112 pages, full color photographs, $20.00
Despite the hunting of some species to extinction and the shrinking of their environment, wild horses have survived into the twentieth century. Among the hardy survivors pictured in Wild Horses are the last of the truly wild horses-the now increasingly protected mustangs of America and the numerous brumbies of the Australian Outback.
Written by Elwin Hartley Edwards, author of The Encyclopedia of the Horse and The Ultimate Horse Book, Wild Horses covers specifics of various horses throughout the world, featuring: mustangs of the American West, the island bound horses of Virginia and Nova Scotia, herds in the Ural Mountain foothills, ponies of the British Isles and the south of France, horses of the Iberian Peninsula, onagers of western Asia, and Australian Brumbies.
In words and photos sure to delight any horse fancier, Wild Horses describes the horses themselves, their range, particular mannerisms, styles of trotting or walking, plus interesting stories about the different species. With more than seventy outstanding color photos and Edward’s authoritative text, Wild Horses is a fascinating overview of wild and semi-wild species worldwide.
