Book excerpt: Since 1066 there have been 42 monarchs in Britain, each with their individual tastes and styles of government, yet the one thing which has always linked them is an overriding fascination and love of horses, from their use in war and pageantry to sport and leisure. Henry VIII and Elizabeth I bred horses at Hampton Court to race and imported stallions and mares from North Africa and the Middle East. James I and Charles I expanded the importation of Barb and Arab blood, and though Oliver Cromwell prohibited racing, the studs and racetracks of the Restoration were able to continue to produce some of the finest horses in the world. Amanda Murray's intriguing and comprehensive study offers a new history of the British royal family told through the fascinating and often surprising story of 'The Sport of Kings'. Discover how the side saddle was introduced, how horsemanship has always worked hand in hand with architecture, Queen Victoria's many and impressive achievements as a breeder, as well as countless other tales of the heroes and villains of horse-racing and breeding.

An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, Horse is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
