This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Another great book that is more recent is the Book "CONQUERORS" by Dr. Deb Bennett: Here is part of the description:
"Conquerors: The Roots of New World Horsemanship This marvelous 432-page volume tells the story of mounted horsemanship from its beginnings in prehistory to the days of the Spanish conquest of the New World. An American Library Association "Best in Category" winner, this book offers the easy readability of a novel yet the technical depth of a college textbook. In this landmark work, Dr. Deb tackles one of the grandest stories in the history of the world. Native warriors, desert nomads, Norman knights, Spanish conquistadors, Argentinian gauchos, Tejano colonists and California vaqueros all contribute to the birth of the unique and varied horse cultures of the New World. Provocative and fascinating, we guarantee that "Conquerors" is one book that you will not be able to put down. With some 500 illustrations, maps, quotations from rare original sources and an extensive bibliography and index, "Conquerors" covers the history of every country in the New World that has ever bred horses of Iberian background."
