Excellent anatomical drawings." — New Statesman and Nation "Unusual in conception, originality, style and interest . . . a treasure for the horseman's library." — The Times (London) Literary Supplement This easy-to-read text explains the horse as a machine designed for movement. Using different colors in his drawings, the author not only describes with clarity the horse's skeleton and the functions of various muscles, but also creates images that have the power to suggest movement and stress.
