Picture Peddler North American Horses Educational Reference Equine Chart Print Poster 24x36
Picture Peddler North American Horses Educational Reference Equine Chart Print Poster 24x36
This beautiful poster presents all of the important North American horses in historic context. The captions explain that the horse evolved in North America and in prehistoric times crossed the Bering Sea land bridge into Asia. Its descendants migrated to Europe. The horse became extinct in North America around 11,000 years ago. Horses were reintroduced to the New World by Columbus on his second voyage in 1493 when he brought them to Cuba. Cortez landed them on the North American continent in 1516. Later explorers and settlers brought many different breeds. These "Colonial Imports" are shown on the top three rows. They provided the bloodlines for all that followed. The next row presents the feral and Indian horses. The bottom three rows are devoted to the many other breeds that originated in North America. This poster accurately portrays 54 breeds, making it a valuable identification chart for horse lovers. Included are four famous horses that were used so extensively for crossbreeding that the original stock was bred out of existence; they are now extinct. They are the Spanish Jennet, Galloway, Hobby, and Narragansett Pacer. They are included because of the importance of their bloodlines to modern-day breeds. (The highly popular Hobby inspired the toy horse that bears its name and was the origin of the word as it is used today, for a recreational activity.) Most of these magnificent horses are shown in profile for easy identification, but some of the most famous breeds are shown with riders in great action poses to represent a few of the many ways the horse has contributed to America

The Horse: The Epic History of Our Noble Companion
A New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Book Review Editors' ChoiceA Best Book of 2015, The Wall Street Journal"Love is the driver for Wendy Williams's new book, The Horse . . . [an] affectionate, thoroughgoing, good-hearted book." —Jaimy Gordon, The New York Times Book Review"Charming and deeply interesting . . . Ms. Williams does a marvelous job." —Pat Shipman, The Wall Street JournalThe book horse-lovers have been waiting forHorses have a story to tell, one of resilience, sociability, and intelligence, and of partnership with human beings. In The Horse, the journalist and equestrienne Wendy Williams brings that story brilliantly to life.Williams chronicles the 56-million-year journey of horses as she visits with experts around the world, exploring what our biological affinities and differences can tell us about the bond between horses and humans, and what our longtime companion might think and feel. Indeed, recent scientific breakthroughs regarding the social and cognitive capacities of the horse and its ability to adapt to changing ecosystems indicate that this animal is a major evolutionary triumph. Williams charts the course that leads to our modern Equus-from the protohorse to the Dutch Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and cow ponies of the twenty-first century. She observes magnificent ancient cave art in France and Spain that signals a deep respect and admiration for horses well before they were domesticated; visits the mountains of Wyoming with experts in equine behavior to understand the dynamics of free-roaming mustangs; witnesses the fluid gracefulness of the famous Lipizzans of Vienna; contemplates what life is like for the sure-footed, mustachioed Garrano horses who thrive on the rugged terrain of Galicia; meets a family devoted to rehabilitating abandoned mustangs on their New Hampshire farm; celebrates the Takhi horses of Mongolia; and more. She blends profound scientific insights with remarkable stories to create a unique biography of the hors... [Read More]
