In Search of the Arabian Horse-Arabian Horse Book-translated by Andrew Steen NEW

Description: Out of Print NEW 2002 Hardcover -In Search of the Arabian Horse: The Cria Caballar's 1905 Commission to the Orient , by Luiz Azpeitia de Moro, Commandant of the Spanish CavalryThis translation of Captain Azpeitia de Moro's 1905 Spanish Classic is an account of the Cria Caballar's arduous horseback adventure through the desert world of the Turks, and Bedouins, searching for quality Oriental breeding stock. Occurring only eleven months before Homer Davenport's expedition, meeting several of the same Turkish dignitaries and Bedouin chiefs, their thoughts are as different as night and day. The Cavalryman was not seduced by myths, some of his convictions clash dramatically with those of many early authorities about the origin, domestication and history of the Arabian horse. The well-known, but seldom seen book, often cited by Gladys Brown Edwards, is an informative chronicle of the foundation of present-day Spain's world famous Arabian breeding program.
