This special re-print edition of Ridgeway's "Origin and Influence of the Thoroughbred Horse" is considered one of the most important works ever published on this famous breed of horse. First published in 1905, this important work on horses, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Chapters include The Ancestors of the Equidae, The Existing Horse, Horses of Prehistoric and Historic Times, The Origin of the Libyan Horse, The Development of the Thoroughbred Horse and more. At over 500 pages, this is one of the most authorative books on Thoroughbred Horses. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
