Book
Why do horses wear shoes? How do horses 'speak'? And why can't horses burp? Answering 20 curious questions about the equine species, this book is a charming blend of zoology, history and popular culture that celebrates why horses have been such beloved companions for centuries. Lily Snowden-Fine's quirky and dead-pan paintings illustrate a collection of facts and stories about horses in a memorable way, while Dr Nick Crumpton's succinct and pithy text delivers expert information with light-hearted humour. Featuring a myriad different horse breeds, readers will discover what's so unique about a horse's body and its behaviour, and why they deserve to be well cared for.
