A cultural history and an elegy to the complicated relationship between humans and horses.

This exceptional review is written by E. E. Morgan whose novel, "The Sport of Kings", was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in fiction. Some may recall I promoted that excellent book here many moons ago.
