Description
The Ultimate Guide to Horse Breeds covers the evolution of the horse. It has taken nearly 60 million years for the horse to evolve from its earliest form, Hyracotherium or Eohippus, to Equus caballus of the family Equidae, the modern horse, as we know it today. Eohippus (Dawn Horse) can be traced back to the Eocene period, between 56 and 34 million years ago, and is thought to have originated in Africa or Asia.
This guide also empowers horse owners as well as aficionados with tools on how to manage a stable, horse grooming, correct feeding, riding and training techniques.

Person
Andrea Fitzpatrick has always been interested in the complexities of owning and breeding horses. 20 years ago she founded a small stud in the South of England specializing in the breeding of sports horses for top competition. Her stud is now quite large and has become highly respected as a producer of good quality horses. Her love for all things equestrian has inspired her to write this lovely work which should, in turn, encourage the reader to delve further in to this interesting field of horse breeds. As well as her work with horses, she is also a budding freelance journalist and covers many equestrian events countrywide.
