No animal has captured the human imagination quite like the horse,
depicted in cave drawings thousands of years ago through countless
renderings in paint, clay, ink, even film. In his first book,
award-winning photographer Tim Flach's quest to document the horse has
resulted in EQUUS, an intensely moving look at an animal - as solitary
subject and en masse, from the air and from underwater - whose history
is so powerfully linked to our own. From exquisite Arabians in the
Royal Yards of the United Arab Emirates to purebred Icelandic horses in
their glacial habitat; from the soulful gaze of a single horse's
lash-lined eye to the thundering majesty of thousands of mustangs
racing across the plains of Utah, EQUUS provides an amazing and unique
insight into the physical dynamics and spirit of the horse. Physical Info: 3.76
