Renowned poets spanning a great range of eras and styles, all writing in praise of the horse. Including poems from Philip Larkin, Carol Ann Duffy, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Philip Sidney, Matsuo Basho, Louise Gluck, Robert Browning and Ted Hughes, there should be something to please every equestrian.
'Where in the world can man find nobility without pride, Friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity! Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility, has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent, nothing as quick, nothing as patient. The world's past has been borne on his back. We are his heirs; he is our inheritance.' - Ronald Duncan
