Winter (1634-after 1690) was a master of horse breeding at Ansbach, Guterstein, Offenhausen, and Marbach bei Munsingen. The plates, often quite graphic, depict a variety of breeds and their couplings. Of particular interest are the illustrations of horse monsters, including horses with human feet, human heads, and with eight hooves.
