Horse Breeding in the Medieval World. Charles Gladitz. Four Courts Press. 1997. A book of quite remarkable range and depth, focusing on the Middle Ages. The
ideas of classical authors are assembled fully for comparison with those of medieval Arab and non-Arab authors, covering documentary evidence of horse breeding from as far away as China, Mongolia and Turkistan and as
near as 13th-century England and Scotland. Diet, the breeding environment, equine health and branding are studied, as well as the core of the subject of breeding per se. 332 pages. £ 40.00
