Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of horse breeding in Britain and assesses whether contemporary methods are compromising the quality and athleticism of horses. The author argues that excessive focus on thoroughbreds for racing purposes over the past three decades has come at the expense of general utility horses. These horses, intended to perform a variety of tasks and possess significant stamina and strength, have been largely overlooked in favor of thoroughbreds bred primarily for speed. The author contends that restoring a balance between breeding thoroughbreds and general utility horses is essential for preserving the equine heritage and ensuring the availability of high-quality horses for diverse purposes.
