How far can a horse travel in a day? What does a horse eat? When is a
brown horse really a sorrel (or a bay, or a dun)? What do tack and
withers and canter mean?
In this long-awaited and much-requested book based on her "Horseblog" at
Book View Caf, author and horse breeder Judith Tarr answers these
questions and many more. She looks at horses from the perspective of the
writer whose book or story needs them as anything from basic transport
to major plot device, and provides definitions, explanations, and links
and references for further research - leavened with insight into the
world of the horse and the humans who both use and serve him. Here is a
guide to the fine art of getting it right.
