Más información sobre el libro

No animal---wild or domesticated---epitomizes power, strength and nobility like the horse. This beautiful book is lavishly illustrated with over 100 full-color photographs of horses---in particular a herd of Camargue horses that was released on the Tour de Valat estate in Germany in order to study their behavior in natural conditions. The resulting photographs provide a fascinating record and penetrating insight into all aspects of their community life.Horsesis a detailed survey of the horse as a social animal, from the moment of its birth, through the various stages of its life---its close ties first with its mother, and gradually as it matures, its changing relationships with other members of the group. The text describes how the animals find their place in the social structure of the group and the various habits they display to denote this.
