Yes, this book is fantastic for the new equestrian, but no, for the older and/or more experienced person, this book wouldn't be of much help.
Because of the fact Desmond Morris has written so many books about various animals, it indicates that he most likely has no or limited experience with horses, and textbooks and research filled the pages, not actual experience and raw knowledge.
Thanks for reading my review!

The Equestrian Critique :). I was hoping to get
some insight into WHY it's never come close on this planet.
Unfortunately for me (again without giving away the plot), the
author takes the same basic position that I have: the answer is
human nature; or at least the nature of a % of the human race
(basically but not exclusively the rich & powerful in all arenas)
is selfish, greedy & at times evil.
