Publication summary

The horse was as important a part of the history of the Middle Ages as were
the monarchs, noblemen and ordinary people for whom it was indispensable.
For the transport of people, mail and goods, agriculture and sport, the
horse was absolutely central to medieval life, enabling a host of daily
activities as well as sustaining a vast support industry of grooms,
farriers, lorimers, smiths, wheelwrights and cordwainers.  Without the
flexibility, the speed and the power of the horse the medieval world would
have been very different.  From the humble carthorse and pony to the
tournament champion and hunter, the horse was used extensively, and relied
upon by all classes of society.  Ann Hyland discusses the working horse, the
warhorse, horse breeding and trading and the whole infrastructure which kept
the medieval equine world running.  She concentrates on the horse in
England, but the study is firmly grounded in a worldwide perspective, with
much reference being made to the east, where medieval and modern horsecraft
has its origins.  The author is a leading expert on equestrianism and writes
with her customary detailed knowledge and understanding.  This is an
essential books for medievalists, and the revelations of the varied world of
medeival equestrainism will be of great interest to the general reader.
