See more detail | | Working Horse
Working Horse. For over two centuries before the coming of the tractor and the truck, heavy work on farms and roads was powered by the working horse. In the 1920's there were untold millions of horses working the land, but by 1960 the numbers in the western world had dwindled to a few thousand. The horse continues to work today in third world countries as the most popular source of power outside humans themselves. Now, on new small, diversified farms throughout the world the horse is returning to favor. Here is the complete story of the working horse, beautifully illustrated and in full color.
