Customer Reviews

Phenomenal, detailed, and informative mini book on Horses!

This small book is a great value, with excellent photos, illustrations, diagrams, maps, and charts. It is an amazing and professionally written 'pocket' book, with seemingly complete information on the history of horses and the various breeds and types. The book is divided into the following chapters: Introduction To Horses; Ponies; Light Horses; Heavy Horses; Wild And Feral Horses, and a Reference Section. 160 information crammed pages of fascinating reading and photos, to say the least. In fact, as a testament to my above claims, this book is to blame for my record setting visit to 'the john' recently... my wife tells me I was sitting in there for at least an hour 'horsing around'!

Excellent Book for Breed Identification and History

I am so glad that I purchased this book. I needed a reference guide to help me identify different breeds of horses and ponies for the Photo Model Horse Shows that I have been participating in. Since I will eventually judge a show, I needed to be prepared to classify horse breeds from the photograph entries that will be sent to me. It is easy to read, the photographs are lovely, and there were only a few breeds not listed. Good job!
