Their origins steeped in mystery, the wild horses in the Namib Desert have captured imaginations and touched hearts. The resilient animals have survived in the desert for close to a century and have over the years become one of the main tourist attractions in southern Namibia.
Wild Horses in the Namib Desert is the outcome of a collaboration, revealing the little known history and behaviour of the wild horse population. Mannfred Goldbeck sheds light on the horses’ origins, taking the reader back to the tumultuous time of World War I and exploring the more plausible theories. Telané Greyling (PhD Zoology) shares her knowledge of the intriguing behaviour of the Namib horses gleaned from her many years of research and life amongst the horses.
An equine biography of the Namib wild horses, the book traces the beginnings of Equus groups on the sub-continent, following their journey over time to Namibia and the present day.
The English edition of 'Wild Horses in the Namib Desert' has been published mid October; the German edition will be on the bookshelves in November.
