It is a very exciting, long-awaited day for all of us who study, enjoy and work with horse color. Today marks the release of the first volume of The Equine Tapestry by Lesli Kathman, an exploration of horse color and “the role color has played, both from a historical perspective and in changing trends of the modern horse world.”

The description further explains that by “combining a modern understanding of genetics with a wealth of historical documentation, The Equine Tapestry gives a more complete picture of the founding of the different breeds and shows how this relates to the unusual colors popular in the present day.”
As an ardent fan of Lesli’s art, writing, and research for more than two decades, I can only imagine the riches that will be revealed in this text. Painting horses is just as much a matter of science (understanding why and how any horse came to be that color) as of aesthetics, skill, and talent, therefore I consider this book a "must" for my own library. I can't wait to receive it. I have already ordered my copy!
