This book comprehensively studies and records in detail all vital information about today's top jockeys, leading owners and trainers and world-famous horses.

Exciting photographs communicate the energy of the horses and the passion of their riders and owners.

Download or read book The Liminal Horse written by Rena Maguire and published by Trivent Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical horse is at once material and abstract, as is the notion of the border. Borders and frontiers are not only markers delineating geographical spaces but also mental constructs: there are borders between order and disorder, between what is permitted and what is prohibited. Boundaries and liminal spaces also exist in the material, economic, political, moral, legal and religious spheres. In this volume, the contributing authors explore the theme of the liminality of the horse in all of these historical arenas, asking how does one reconcile the very different roles played by the horse in human history?
