From stable hands grooming the animals before a hunt in the English countryside to the changing-of-the-guard ceremony at the royal palace in Spain, and from immaculate dressage riders to the troops of the Indian cavalry in their stables in Delhi, Moore's photographs offer a profound and romantic insight into the close connection that binds us to these animals.
With contributions from known experts and life-long riders, this elegant book paints a picture of an entire equestrian world, from the racecourses of Keeneland in Kentucky to the training stables at Newmarket, and from the majestic working Suffolk Punches to Frankel, one of the most valuable studs in the world.
