Last of the Wild Horses

Arrowood Pr

When The Last of the Wild Horses was first published in 1984, there were 400 Przewalski horses in the world`s zoos. Currently, the numbers are substantially increased, with the population having reached upwards of 1,200 horses worldwide. Not so very long ago, wild horses ran free throughout the world. Now, banished by civilization to a few remote and desolate outposts, they make a final stand against the continuing incursions of so-called progress. Their days, like their ranks, are plainly numbered. If nothing changes, they may be in danger of vanishing forever. For centuries, we have exhibited a profoundly ambivalent attitude toward the horse-envying its freedom while seeking to harness its power, admiring its passion for survival while methodically sealing its fate. This attitude, as we shall see, remains in force today. But today, more than ever before, wild horses require our assistance. We have rendered it impossible for them to live in splendid isolation, maintaining a romanticized and somehow independent existence far apart. They have become, through our deprivations, our responsibility.

An inspiring pictorial account. 
 Years ago, wild horses ran free throughout the world. As the lands that domesticated horses helped explore and settle expanded, the wilderness shrank and the wild horses began to disappear. 
 When The Last of the Wild Horses was first published in 1984, there were only 400 Przewalske horses. All were found in zoos, and none existed in the wild. Since then, successful conservation and breeding programs have resulted in a wild population of 1,200. 
 This book is a pictorial tribute to the spirit and beauty of wild horses and the hills, field and plains they roam. Martin Harbury covers a variety of breeds in regions around the world including:
<ul>
<li>Przewalskes of Asia</li> <li>Tarpans of Poland</li> <li>Ponies of the British Isles</li> <li>White Horses and the Camargue</li> <li>Horses of Sable Island</li> <li>Australian Brumbies</li> <li>American Mustangs.</li> </ul>
 Each breed's characteristics, behavior and living conditions are explained as well as the vigilant protection of the habitats that they require for survival. 
 This fascinating pictorial history will please naturalists, horse lovers and conservationists alike.
