In \u003ci\u003eThe Horse\u003c\/i\u003e, the journalist and equestrienne Wendy Williams brings that story brilliantly to life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliams chronicles the 56-million-year journey of horses as she visits with experts around the world, exploring what our biological affinities and differences can tell us about the bond between horses and humans, and what our longtime companion might think and feel. Indeed, recent scientific breakthroughs regarding the social and cognitive capacities of the horse and its ability to adapt to changing ecosystems indicate that this animal is a major evolutionary triumph. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilliams charts the course that leads to our modern \u003ci\u003eEquus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e--\u003c\/i\u003efrom the protohorse to the Dutch Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and cow ponies of the twenty-first century.
