Before crude oil and the combustion engine, the industrialized world relied on a different kind of power - the power of the horse. Horses in Society is the story of horse production in the United States, Britain, and Canada at the height of the species' usefulness, the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century. Margaret E. Derry shows how horse breeding practices used during this period to heighten the value of the animals in the marketplace incorporated a intriguing cross section of influences, including Mendelism, eugenics, and Darwinism. Derry elucidates the increasingly complex horse world by looking at the international trade in army horses, the regulations put in place by different countries to enforce better horse breeding, and general aspects of the dynamics of the horse market. Because it is a story of how certain groups attempted to control the market for horses, by protecting their breeding activities or 'patenting' their work, Horses in Society provides valuable background information to the rapidly developing present-day problem of biological ownership. Derry's fascinating study is also a story of the evolution of animal medicine and humanitarian movements, and of international relations, particularly between Canada and the United States.

"In the mid-1800s it was estimated that there were around 50 recognizable types of horse and pony in Great Britain but relatively few of these developed into breeds or survived into the twentieth century ... Today, both the much-loved Cleveland Bay and Suffolk Punch are on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust critical list and there are fewer than 500 Exmoor ponies in the UK ... [the author] looks at how the native [i.e. British] equine has evolved and ... where we are today. He examines the lost and minority breeds - including the Irish Hobby, the Yorkshire Trotter, the Shales Horse, the Orkney and the Eriskay - illustrating the ease with which breeds can die out or be absorbed into another breed through indiscriminate cross-breeding. He then moves on to outline what needs to be done to protect the survival of these horse and pony breeds and who needs to take responsibility"--Jacket.
