Of the many beautiful gift books in the Random House empire, there is not one for the large and avid market of horse lovers. THE QUOTABLE EQUINE by Jim Dratfield will rectify that, building on the successful formula of Jim's past titles THE QUOTABLE CANINE and THE QUOTABLE FELINE: pairing beautiful sepia-toned photographs with quotes that range from humorous to inspirational. (A formula that has also turned into great Potter Style products-UNDERDOGS, one of the top three sellers in the debut line, and QUOTABLE EQUINE is likely to join the series.) Jim has traveled the world to find the most beautiful horses in the most stunning settings, from such local venues as the Hampton Classic show and Millbrook's polo to the wild horses on Chincoteague Island and workhorses in the snow-covered fields of Montana, then over to the outskirts of Paris for a unique circus, Germany for a totally military take on riding, and even to Mongolia, where horses are as much a way of daily life as in any culture. Some of the photos include people, some include spectacular scenery, and some are just portraits of the animals, but all capture the spirit, strength, and nobility of horses.
