'One of the major contributions of this volume is the exquisitely illustrated catalogue, taking up almost half the book. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of the Irish Late Iron Age and will be essential reading.' - Duncan Berryman (2022): Ulster Archaeological Society newsletter, Spring 2022
'Like all good research projects, this one has raised many more questions about the arrival of equestrianism in Ireland, the people who brought it and its impact on society, the connections between this island and the rest of the Iron Age world, and even the horses themselves. In all, this is an important step forward in the study of Iron Age Ireland' - Sharon Green (2022): Archaeology Ireland, Summer 2022
'While one may hesitate to follow Maguire's broader interpretations, she has shown what can be achieved by a practice-based assessment and questioning of equestrian finds: the detailed knowledge of how to work a horse, how this translated into metal, and what implications this could have.' - Fraser Hunter (2022): Ulster Journal of Archaeology Vol. 77
'This is a sublime piece of work, comprehensive and original in its approach, and demonstrating a thorough knowledge of the material and its functioning.' - Greta Anthoons (2023): Ollodagos
