Called \u2018Horse Tales \u2013 A Celebration of Equus Down the Ages,\u2019 the book offers a light-hearted take on the horse as seen in biology, in history, in culture, and in the popular imagination. It also concludes with a glossary of 20 familiar horse-related metaphors or sayings in the English language, explaining their origins and usage, such as \u201cDon\u2019t flog a dead horse\u201d and \u201cNever look a gift horse in the mouth\u201d. If you don\u2019t know what these sayings mean, then you\u2019d better read the book!<\/p>\n<p>Designed and illustrated in eclectic style by various members of the Equus team, if you\u2019re lucky enough to get hold of it (feel free to ask), we\u2019re confident this lexicon of horsiness will inform and entertain you for at least as long as it takes you to skim through it. Being designers, we are realistic about limited attention spans, after all\u2026.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
