The Horse Book

The Horse Book pairs famous historical figures with their faithful rides including: Alexander the Great's beloved steed at whose death he dedicated the city of Alexandria Bucephala, the cruel Roman emperor Caligula who made his horse a consul, the brave horses in the First World War, and horses of famous figures from El Cid to Napoleon. This is the perfect gift for the horse lover--a guide to the role of horses in history and the people who rode them.
