"The Argentine Creole Horses are the direct and pure descendants of the Arabian horses brought by the Spaniards during the conquest period, over four hundred years ago, and which, having been abandoned in the wild "pampas" to live by themselves, have undergone the severe natural selection that gifted them with their actual strength and unexcelled endurance". A solidly VG copy, sturdy and very presentable, with only light foxing at the panels. Quarto, crisp black-and-white photographs thruout.
