'The Materiality of the Horse brings life and three dimensions to our understanding of the Medieval horse. Clichés are overturned and new perspectives opened up. We understand the very different case studies from all over the world both at a theoretical level and in details that give us a sense of immediacy."
Dr. Susanna Forrest, Author of The Age of the Horse: An Equine Journey through Human History
"From cover to cover, this book provides a highly readable and riveting account of the horse-human relationship in three contexts. From the breeding and management of horses in a range of time and place, to literary representations, to an exploration of archaeological understanding, each chapter provides well-researched and insightful account on the significance of the horse-human relationship."

I am most pleased to recommend Trivent publishing to anyone who is at the “publish a book” stage of life. The team is professional, outstanding, supportive, they are intelligent editors who will direct, not coddle, an author on his/her journey to publication.
I have been working with the Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence since its debut in 2017. It has been a pleasant experience to see how the papers take shape in the process from submission to peer review to publication. The editor-in-chief together with the Trivent team do a tremendous job and are always seeking quality above all!
I’ve participated in two conferences organized by Trivent in the last few years and both were a nice experience – went smoothly and had decent talks in good spirit. When it came to managing manuscripts, I was surprised by the professionalism by which they helped my text get published. I definitely enjoyed working with them!
