Since the dawn of recorded history, humankind has lived with horses. Whether coexisting as wild creatures on the steppes of Europe, or sharing the legendary equine-human partnership following the horse's domestication, what emerged from this relationship is an illustrious family of breeds that continues to fascinate to this day. Written by a team of highly respected equestrian authors, The Kingdom of the Horse gloriously celebrates the horse, tracing its fascinating evolution from very early origins as the feral dawn horse Eohippus over 55 million years ago.
