The Horses of the Sahara and the Manners of the Desert
Eugène Daumas and James Hutton
In the desert the horse is family, poetry, and survival all at once. E. Daumas gathers the lore of the Sahara: the origin of the Arab horse, the Barb, the breeds, and the manners of the men who ride them. Firsthand desert knowledge, romantic and exact. A classic on the horses and horsemen of the great sands. Ride out under the desert stars.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
