The Coveted Mount

A richly illustrated exploration of the extraordinary relationship between humans and horses across thousands of years of history.

From the earliest civilizations to the modern world, horses have shaped the course of human history.

Beautifully illustrated and deeply researched, The Coveted Mount brings together fascinating stories, remarkable discoveries, and fresh perspectives that make history accessible to every reader. It reveals not only how horses transformed civilizations, but also how they shaped human imagination, ambition, and progress across generations.
