Horse Breeds of North America

This is an incredibly informative "quick guide" book to the North American horse breeds. It is very well organized. Excellent book!

Beginner Horse Lover

bought for my 8 year old that has a sudden interest in horses. she is learning the different types of horses & is a guide to let you know what the different horses are good for. let's you know great beginner horses, etc.

quick reference book

Good book, but only offers brief descriptions of the breeds---but that is what I expected in a small "pocket sized" book. I like it.

Quick sidebars provide height, description, history, and suitability for potential owners.

Similar-sounding books usually have large-size formats and coffee table-like hardcover weight: the joy of Horse Breeds of North America is that it offers up an affordable, easy 96-page photo display in pocket size lending to toting. This means you can take it along on a car ride, trip, or anyplace else a horse might show up. Quick sidebars provide height, description, history, and suitability for potential owners. Diane C.

unexpectantly interesting

The cover of the book says 96 at a glance profiles, but there are 204 pages, and more than 96 profiles.This is a interesting little book printed on high quality paper with a lot on information for each breed , very easily understood, and read, with some very beautiful horses and pictures, also, very informative.
