Noble Brutes
More than 200 Oriental horses were imported into British Isles between 1650-1750. With the horses came Eastern ideas about horsemanship and the relationship between horses and humans. This title traces how the introduction of these Eastern blood horses transformed early modern culture and revolutionized England's racing and equestrian tradition.
