The Complete Horse is a single-volume A-Z companion to perhaps the most loved of all domesticated animals. The books's 5000 entries not only cover such basic equine topics as the physiology and anatomy of the horse, and breeds of horse and pony, but also accurately reflect the multiplicity of roles played by the horse historically and culturally. 
In addition to its coverage of core equine topics, The Complete Horse also includes a wealth of unexpected, fascinating and serendipious information, from horse slang phrases to horses in British pub signs, and from the horse in advertising to the horse as a food item. The volume will also include extended narrative essays on key themes such as the horse in warfare and the horse in folklore. 
These features add up to a richly satisfying accumulation of information about the horse's role in human culture and society over two millennia. The Complete Horse will not only be a helpful reference source and congenial bedside book for those who work with or enjoy horses, but also a satisfying and browsable companion for the inquisitive general reader.

Arkle. Four decades after he raced, his name continues to reverberate in the folk memory of horseracing. Every true jumping fan still goes misty-eyed at the mention of the horse known simply as "Himself". In the Racing Post favourite racehorse poll in 2004, he won as emphatically as he had won so many big races. But he has long been more than just a famous racehorse. He was - and remains - a national hero in his native Ireland and an equine icon the world over. There has never been a horse to match him, in racing record or in the public affection. This wonderful new book celebrates the greatest of all chasers in words and in a superb collection of photographs and paintings, many never previously published. It is a fitting tribute to the horse of whom the Racing Post wrote: "We have not seen his like since - and nor are we ever likely to."

This is the full story of the horse which many racing pundits consider the best racehorse ever to run on the Flat - the horse who captured the hearts of racegoer's all over the world. His unflappable temperament, his apparently effortless abilities to find another gear when the chips were down, and his unruffled demeanor after each race made him the most popular racehorse since the days of Desert Orchid. This is the story of Sea The Stars - one of the greatest racing stories ever told. The book includes a complete record of all his races and full statistics of his phenomenal career.
