The Nature of the horse

Margaret Cabell Self is a true horsewoman and her knowledge shines through. Due to the age of the book, I wouldn't make this my first choice for a guide, but the stories of the horses that are told throughout the book are engaging. A fun read. Chapters: The Expert Horseman, The Origin of the Horse & How His Physical Aspects Developed, Systems of the Body, Specific Physical Characteristics, Instinctive Behavior Patterns, How Does the Horse Communicate?, Mental Attributes of the Horse, Emotions of the Horse, The Horse as an Individual & General Characteristics Associated with Certain Breeds.
