Can anyone recommend work on horse history in Early Modern England?
As I delve into this specialized area, I feel I'm reinventing the wheel. A pointed recommendation from scholars familiar with the landscape would save me significant time. I'm looking for the essential books, articles, or even key doctoral theses that form the cornerstone of this topic.

Absolutely. Begin with the scholar who essentially founded the field: Peter Edwards. His books are indispensable. Next, consult The Horse in World History by Ann Hyland for broader context. For a brilliant microstudy, find Joan Thirsk's chapter in The Agrarian History of England and Wales. Finally, I would recommend searching the database of completed PhDs; I've seen excellent recent theses from the Universities of York and Leicester specifically on early modern equine management and culture, which often contain superb literature reviews.
