Our Companion, the Horse

The horse possesses unique qualities not found in any other creature. In the past, horses were not ridden for the sake of sport. Our Companion, the Horse offers everything one needs to know about horses, from their biological structure and breeds to their journey through world history, from the horse-riding steppe culture to the horses of Anatolia.

Authors Kudret Emiroğlu, Ahmet Yüksel, and photographer Ümit Uzmay have examined scientific publications on horses, roamed the mountain peaks in search of wild horses, explored farms, stables, meadows, and paddocks, and conversed with experts.

As the most comprehensive work published in Turkish in its field, Our Companion, the Horse is the latest reference source for those who wish to explore the relationship between humans, time, space, and their own bodies through horses.

The book has been published in a limited edition of only 500 copies by Demirören Publications and is awaiting its enthusiasts with a special box and bag.
