5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply moving account of man's inextricable link to horses, 15 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild about Horses: Our Timeless Passion for the Horse (Hardcover)
Scanlan's love of this noble beast is evident on every page. Powerfully written, this chronology of mankinds eternal facination with horses both enthralled and angered me and sometimes made me laugh out loud. Great photographs and interveiws, I loved this book. Wonderfully moving accounts' of the fastest horses on earth to the only living thing left at Custer's Last Stand. A enthralling, heart warming book: read some of these story's to your kids, you will both be richer for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro into horse world., 31 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Wild about Horses: Our Timeless Passion for the Horse (Hardcover)
Lawrence Scanlan's book is a wonderfully written, passionate, sensitive account of the world of horses. Weaving myth, lore, history and anecdote, he paints a great and varied picture of lives of our equine friends and how they intertwine with our best and worst endeavors. I particularly liked the chapters on horses in film and epic horseback rides. The concluding chapter in which Scanlan visits three wise horsewomen of the Northeast -- there's a movie title for you -- is particularly touching and would make a terrific book on its own (Scanlan, if you're listening). At the back of the book is a bibliography, several pages in length, which should provide any horse-lover with hours of additional reading. In all this is a terrific introductory book and one that would make a great gift for kids.

It was wonderful to find out that the feelings that I have for horses is shared by other people. It is hard to describe this to someone else but the author did an excellent job!
