Sylvia Loch



The Royal Horse of Europe:

The Story of the Andalusian and Lusitano
by Sylvia Loch
A thorough treatise on the history and development of the Iberian horse, who's descendants include Andalusians, Lipizzans, Lusitanos and Friesians as well as numerous other familiar breeds. Lavishly illustrated with photographs as well as art from the Baroque period, this work stimulates the eye as well as the intellect. Carefully and thoroughly researched, it's scholarly content is a real treat for anyone interested in the development of horsemanship in general and the Iberian horse breeds in particular.

Book Reviews:
"Best English-Language Book on Iberian Horses," October 24, 1997
Reviewer: teresa@noao.edu from Tucson, USA
      Sylvia Loch does an excellent job of telling the story of the Iberian Horse (what we know as the Andalusian and Lusitano). It is well-written and has beautiful illustrations. One of the things I like the most about this book is that it is well-referenced. You can find out where Ms. Loch found her information on a subject in most instances, and this is a point where most horse books fail miserably. Anyone interested in Andalusians, Lusitanos, or their offshoots (Mustangs, Criollos, Paso Finos, Peruvian Pasos, Lippizaners, etc) will enjoy this book and want a copy for their libraries.

"Fantastic book on Iberian Horses," May 11, 1997
Reviewer: Anonymous reader
The Royal Horse of Europe is a stunning book dealing with the horse breeds derived from the Iberian Peninsula (i.e. Spain & Portugal). It covers the history of these breeds, including their connection to the Great Warhorse of the Medieval Period. In addition, it presents information on Iberian horse sports, such as the corrida (the mounted bullfight) and the Iberian Schools of Classical Horsemanship. The writing style is accessible, yet does not sacrifice sound scholarship. 50 color photos and 75 black & whites illustrate the text. Note: This excellent book is extremely biased toward Iberian horse breeds. Eulogies are occasionally inserted where I would have preferred logical arguments. This is a minor gripe, however, for a book of such excellent quality. It is worth many rereads.
