From the authors and illustrator of 1066 And All That, an uproariously funny single-volume guide to all matters equine and equestrian, now reissued for the first time in paperback
They're off - again! In their classically comic 1066 And All That, Sellar and Yeatman gave us 'All the History you can remember'. In this uproarious sequel they give us all we'll ever need on matters equine and equestrian. From breeding to buying and hunting to punting, here is the indispensable guide to the Noble Animal, reminding us that one man's Meet is another man's poison and that the horse is the only animal you can hammer nails into. The result will teach riders much about the Noble Animal that they never dreamt of; and hilariously confirm non-readers in just the sort of things they secretly think about their 'horsey' friends.
