""The Horses of the Conquest"" by Graham R. B. Cunninghame is a comprehensive study of the role that horses played in the Spanish conquest of the Americas. The book explores the history of the horses that were brought to the New World by the Spanish and their impact on the indigenous peoples, as well as the military tactics and strategies that were developed around the use of horses in battle.

The book is richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and drawings, and includes a glossary of horse-related terms.
