The Bridleway: How Horses Shaped the British Landscape

The Bridleway: How Horses Shaped the British Landscape

I listened to the audiobook version of this (not available to select as an edition on Goodreads for some reason), and it was a beautiful, evocative and interesting listen.

If you love horses, history and nature then this book is for you. The author takes us on a beautifully evocative hack through the British landscape and across different eras. From pit ponies to war horses, and poetry to conservation grazing.

The narration is exquisite but I knocked off a star for some seriously mispronounced words that I'm guessing the narrator was unfamiliar with (like livery) which unfortunately jarred what was otherwise a riveting listen.
