Le cheval est un des plus anciens et des plus fidèles compagnons de l'homme. Depuis des millénaires s'est tissé entre le cavalier et sa monture un rapport exemplaire, fait de confiance, de complicité et d'admiration mutuelle. Cet ouvrage constitue le plus bel hommage à cet animal exceptionnel. En quelque 400 photographies en couleurs illustrant de manière remarquablement précise et vivante plus de 80 races parmi les plus importantes, il offre un panorama unique. Histoire, morphologie, comportement, utilisations, entretien, pratique ou élevage, tout est dit et montré. Pour la plus grande joie de tous ceux que la " plus belle conquête de l'homme " continue de fasciner et d'attendrir.
