Horses of Qatar - Vanessa von Zitzewitz
In the Arabian peninsula, horses are an essential part of society. In Qatar, the breeding and training of horses has been developed into both a science and an art. They embody culture, wealth, mobility, as well as being a living embodiment of grace and power.
This comprehensive photographic volume covers horses as never before. Under the patronage of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, and of his daughter, Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, who is also head of Qatar Museums Authority, Vanessa von Zitzewitz enjoyed unparalleled access to some of the finest equine bloodstock anywhere. We get up-close glimpses of all the rigorous care these four-footed athletes receive.
As well as horses being shod and being trained under water, we even witness the wonder of birth.
