STRANGE BUT TRUE: THE WEIRD HISTORY OF HORSES: War Horses, Royal Stallions, Wild Mustangs, Racing Legends, Famous Riders, Strange Breeds, Horse Thieves, and Other Bizarre Stories from the Saddle - Couverture souple
Livre 47 sur 53: SparkTrail Strange But True
Synopsis
Horses carried emperors into battle, kings into portraits, mail across the frontier, firefighters through crowded streets, and gamblers straight toward financial ruin. They pulled plows, dragged artillery, worked underground, starred in movies, became international celebrities, and occasionally received better funerals than the people riding them.
In Strange But True: The Weird History of Horses, you will gallop through thousands of years of remarkable, hilarious, heroic, and sometimes completely unbelievable horse history. Discover how early humans went from hunting horses for dinner to climbing onto their backs, why ancient chariots became the superweapons of their age, and how the stirrup helped transform mounted warfare. Meet royal stallions, armored warhorses, tough Mongol ponies, escaped mustangs, pit ponies, fire horses, police horses, and strange breeds that look as though nature became unusually creative after lunch.
Along the way, you will encounter Caligula’s politically ambitious horse, Alexander the Great’s legendary Bucephalus, Napoleon’s carefully managed equestrian image, and Sergeant Reckless, the heroic mare who became a United States Marine. You will follow the short, frantic life of the Pony Express, enter the dangerous world of stagecoaches and horse thieves, and discover how cities nearly disappeared beneath mountains of horse manure before automobiles arrived to save civilization’s shoes.
The racing chapters charge straight into the Sport of Kings, the strange origins of the Thoroughbred, horses that finished races without riders, and the unforgettable careers of Seabiscuit and Secretariat. You will also explore movie horses, miniature horses, curly horses, horse superstitions, lucky horseshoes, cloning, DNA, and the surprising reasons horses remain valuable in a machine-filled world.
