"For over five thousand years horse history was human history, from the great chariot cultures of the Hittites and the Assyrians to the storms of mounted archers sweeping out of the steppes of Central Asia, from the heavily armoured knight of medieval chivalry to the pony express rider 'flying light' 250 miles a day. Until only sixty years ago the horse was a decisive factor in civilization, dictating its pace and rhythm, influencing the style and texture of human life...[Dent] unfolds...a fascinating and essential part of human social history." -- DJ.
