| | Hylas Publishing: The New Rider’s Horse Encyclopedia |
 | | Edwards begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of the horse from a small, multi-toed browsing animal of 60 million years ago to the powerful competition horses of today. |
 | | He touches on every aspect of horse history, including their impact on legend, literature and art; the contributions of working horses to war, agriculture, and industry; and the many horse-related sports, including racing, steeplechase, hunting, rodeo, polo and more. |
 | | In addition, he provides a complete catalog of all the major horse and pony breeds, from the tiny Falabellas of Argentina to the giant Shires of England. |
