Having bought two horses from gypsies at a fair in southern Bulgaria, Jeremy James set out with Chumpie, the first of his travelling companions, to ride to Romania. Travelling on horseback gives you a different perspective from any other form of transport because, as Jeremy says, ‘if you go by train or car, the world rushes past you, and you don’t even get to smell it. But if you travel on a horse you feel the world as you move through it, every step, every scent, every breeze, every dimple in the ground, and it’s always fresh. I’d sooner go with a horse than leg it because the horse drives you into village he’s a point of reference, something to focus on.” Encountering a marvellous gallery of characters, Jeremy reveals the humorous side of Eastern European low-life, from gypsies to farmhands from Bulgaria to Berlin, by way of Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany. This is the story of five months’ effort to get along with little vocabulary, not much money, fiery booze, indigestible food, two more travelling companions―André Bubear in Romania, then Gavin Douglas in Czechoslovakia―and a pair of highly entertaining horses who steal, run away, carry on conversations, plot, kick, bite, hoard food, carry hitch-hikers and jog along at the centre of a marvellously readable tale. Jeremy finds himself frequently at odds, but irrevocably attached to his horses, conferring on one a knighthood, much to the annoyance of the other. Vagabond is a refreshing, witty and often surprising view of Eastern Europe and the collapse of communism, literally straight from the horse’s mouth.

This immensely entertaining and historically important book provides the first ever in-depth study into how man's partnership with his equine companion changed the course of history and accelerated human development. It took a cultural nomad and intellectual maverick such as Bjarke Rink, who was born in Denmark and now lives in Brazil, to think outside the box of traditional equestrian theology. The dedicated horseman spent years studying the symbiotic blending of human intellect and equine speed, documenting how these two unique life-forms connect to each other to create a superior being - the legendary centaur! "My challenge was to find the human role in the neurophysiology of equitation and to crack the Centaur enigma," Rink said. The author's pioneering research blends the ancient art of horsemanship with cutting-edge 21st century scientific thought, taking the reader on a galloping tale stretching from the ancient Central Asian birthplace of horsemanship to the laboratories which are helping fuel the great equestrian renaissance which is occurring around the world today. "The Centaur Legacy" is a wonderful read - pithy, witty, never condescending as so many academic tracts are. It will be an inspirational guide to a new generation of horse lovers and free thinkers all over the world. The academic and equestrian worlds are already praising this ground-breaking work. "Hugely entertaining, thought-provoking and informative, this impressive book takes a fresh and sometimes irreverent look at the closely linked history of horse and man," said Caroline Burt, Editor for J. A. Allen Publishing in London, England. "The Centaur Legacy is interesting and provocative, with novel and challenging ideas," reported Dr. Matthew Mackay-Smith, of Equus Magazine. And Jeremy James, FRGS, author of "Saddletramp" and "Debt of Honour," praised Rink's work, saying "The Centaur Legacy is a work of towering importance. No one has had the courage, knowledge, skill, nor the understanding - ever - to deliver such mould-shattering work!"
