 "The
Horse is a paradox. A prey animal living alongside a predator, a
wild spirit who for millions of years has been running for his life."
From
the Award winning producer of the Channel 4 hit series BABY IT'S
YOU. The same innovative camera techniques take you inside the Horse's
World.
Understand
the inner instincts and feelings of horses:
• Permanent
readiness to flee from predators.
• Panoramic
eyesight and the two important blind spots.
• Acute
hearing that scans like radar with 16 muscles in each ear.
• An
incredible sense of balance
• A
tiny stomach but the appetite to eat 50 kilos a day.
• Why
horses give birth alone, why the foal walks within minutes.
• Ligaments
that enable horses to sleep on their feet.
• Massive
lung capacity and a heart that can produce 250 beats per minute.
Horses
born, horses at play, horses racing, horses working. Never before
has our relationship with the horse been so vividly and compellingly
brought to life.
New
research, superb photography and pure enetertainment. Understand
the Horse's World as never before.
