Here the few journals on the subject are listed, and a core list of books on the horse in art and history. Articles on this subject are mostly published in journals about history, anthropology, archeology and the arts, and they are difficult to find.  We would like to list more of such articles, so suggestions are much appreciated. A bookseller’s website spezialized in horses and art is Robin Bledsoe Bookseller, Cambridge MA, USA
