I Love Horses gathers the most memorable quotes about horses ever written, recorded, or carried down through the ages, together with 50 fantastic photos of the prettiest horses available. Horses bring out the best in us; they inspire adoration and compassion. They have served as both muse and catharsis for artists and writers of all centuries and genres. Horses illuminate the prose of literary giants from Homer and Aesop to Steinbeck and Yeats and in sources that range from the Bible and Dante's Inferno to West with the Night, references to horses are abound. In I Love Horses, humorous remarks from the likes of Groucho Marx and Henny Youngman share the pages with valuable wisdom on training and horsemanship from widely honored trainers, past and present. What living creature is the most noble of all, and has spurred on great minds throughout history from Shakespeare to Winston Churchill? All hippophiles know the answer. It is the horse, of course. For all those in love with this magnificent animal, I Love Horses will reside close to the heart and never be far away.
