Translation of: Le cheval, sa nature révélée.

An intimate view into horses' true nature. Sabine Stuewer has been observing horses for years -- when they are alone and in groups. Her images reveal the pure beauty of horses and their connection to their environment and their companions. Emmanuelle Brengard interprets the horses' behaviors -- one minute calmly grazing, in a frenzied gallop the next, grooming each other, nuzzling a foal, battling for a mate. The book's sections are: In the Harem -- the harem family of about 10 (a stallion and his mares and foals), social order. The Stallion -- charisma, postures, fights between males, reproduction. Mares and Foals -- birth, educating the foals, foal games. The Nuances of Friendship -- hierarchy, games among adults. The Partnerships -- mares and foals, resting and sleep, adults protecting the herd and grooming. Gallop to Freedom -- photo gallery. Finely Honed Senses -- smell, sight, taste, hearing, communication, the gaits. Fits of Madness -- jumps and leaps to release stress and energy, and to stretch. Those who ride horses will tell you that they are complex animals possessing a wide range of behaviors. It can take years of watching and being with horses to truly understand them. Sabine Stuewer lives in Germany.
