Description:
One poet calls it "the right magnificent obsession"; others call it, simply, "horse fever." More than any other animal, the horse has shaped the course of human history -- it closed the gap between distant lands, and changed the nature of the hunt and the conduct of war.

Drawing on literature, mythology, and history, Scanlan celebrates the horse in essays on "horse whisperers, " great journeys on horseback, horses in film, television, and literature and more.
