Since they first became domesticated 5,500 years ago, horses and humans have lived side by side! Meet just a few of the over 400 different breeds of horse, then discover wild relatives that recently returned from the brink of extinction. Find the difference between a pony and a horse, learn the anatomy of a horse, and encounter horse hybrids like mules and zorses! Learn the royal history of equestrian sports, find out how horses made their way to the Americas, and come face to face with the free-roaming white horses of southern France.
How are horses represented in mythology? How do horseshoes work? And what happens to horse waste? Find the answers to all of these questions and more! Filled with stunning photography and fascinating facts, this issue of FACES is a wild ride! (Get it?)
