Excerpt from Famous Horses: With Portraits, Pedigrees, Principal Performances, Descriptions of Races, and Various Interesting Items Extending Over a Period of Nearly Two Centuries E earliest records in connection with the British Turf are very meagre. It is stated that horsemen in large numbers opposed the landing of the Romans, and we learn from the Venerable Bede that in a.d. 631, in the reign of Edwin the Great, the English first began to saddle horses. The earliest mention of running horses in England refers to those sent in the ninth century by Hugh, founder of the Royal House of Capet in France, as a present to King Athelstan, whose sister, Ethelswitha, he was desirous of marrying. In the reign of William the Conqueror, Roger de Bellesme, Earl of Shrewsbury, imported some stallions from Spain, and we find their produce celebrated after wards by Drayton the poetf fitz-stephen, a monk of Canterbury, and secretary to the celebrated Arch bishop a'beckett, in the reign of Henry II., refers to some rough-and-ready races. At Smithfield (smooth-field), in which the jockies, inspired with thoughts of applause, and in the hepe of victory.

This meticulously researched and humour-filled illustrated account of horses from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century is as absorbing and in places surprising as when it first appeared in 1908. How did the ancient Greeks and Persians use horses, what about Alexander the Great, Henry VIII: Wellington, who were the most celebrated horses of history..and which if them sired the leading race horses of today? It's all here, and more, in this affectionate history of that loveable, wise, mythic creature of deepest humanity and wisdom, our four-legged flying-tail faithful equine friend.
