The Heath and the Horse by Timothy Cox, David Oldrey and Richard Nash is a lavishly illustrated 2015 hardcover that celebrates Newmarket’s historic heath and the thoroughbreds who train there. Published by I. B. Tauris, this oversized 352-page volume blends social history, sporting lore and animal portraiture to create an essential addition to any horses, racing or British culture shelf.

Rich colour plates and archival images accompany first-hand accounts of riders, trainers and breeders, tracing centuries of equine tradition across the sweeping Suffolk turf. Collectors of antiquarian sporting books will appreciate the meticulous detail, while general readers curious about horse racing history will find a compelling narrative that moves from Tudor monarchs to modern champions.

The book is in good condition with its original dust jacket; light shelf wear shows on the jacket and two pages bear minor marks, but the binding remains tight and all illustrations crisp. A handsome presence on any coffee table or equestrian library, this copy offers the visual splendour of a picture book with the authority of a cultural history.

Ideal for young adults and adult enthusiasts alike, The Heath and the Horse stands out among animal and pet titles, sports memoirs or European history books. Secure this collectible, gently used edition to explore Britain’s turf heritage without the collector-level price of a pristine copy.
