Horse Country

An unbridled ride through the beauty of horse country around the globe—from tack room to saddle, British dressage to Western cowboys— and everywhere in between. Includes a foreword from India Hicks. “Horse lovers will relish this attractive book. It will be of interest to both readers who want to learn more about horses and those who are experienced riders, owners, and trainers of equines.”—Library Journal Prepare to take the most glamorous ride of your life. Horse Country is not just a book—it’s a sprawling, cinematic tribute to the world of horses. Epic in scale and almost as grand as a Thoroughbred, this tome bucks convention, letting loose the reins on beauty, fantasy, and freedom in equal measure. Each page is a discovery: sweeping vistas of dew-dotted pastures, weathered tack rooms, head-turning rides in both English and Western style, and Friesians so exquisite they seem conjured from myth. Included amid all the unbridled beauty are essays on equestrian life and history, a foreword from India Hicks, and an illustrated horse breed dictionary that captures familiar and rarefied equines to know and love. Whether you’re a lifelong equestrian or an aspiring horse girl, Horse Country is an essential love letter to life in the saddle. 240 pgs Hardcover Photography /Nature / Animals / Horses / Equestrian / West / Cowboy Kathryn O'Shea-Evans writes about design, travel, and food from her home base in Colorado's Front Range.
