Friendship between man and horse is one of the pillars of civilization. Retired from most of his functions of transport and heavy work, today the horse is an animal companion — and is even used as a therapeutic tool in health treatments — and a classic partner of sports.
In this book, the critic August Nemo has selected seven short stories that talk about the intimate relationship between man and horse.
This book contains:
— Chu Chu by Bret Harte.
