Bright, informative book for young readers

Well written, informative book for young readers. Gives very short, basic introduction to evolution of the horse into present day equines. Nicely written chapter on horse sense which decribed typical equine body language. Brief discussions on anatomy, various breeds, gait, care, feeding, and equipment. Also has sections on the horse in history, myths and horses of today. Would highly recommend for average reader age 8 and up.

Wonderful horse book!!!!

This book has a variety of interesting general topics on horses - history, riding, care, gaits, buying, features, etc! It even has a section, not only for English riding but also for Western riding and saddling!!! It's got this great fold out section of a horse stable! Though I take exception to the evolution stuff, this book is one of the best general horse books! Though none of the photos are real, the drawings are WONDERFUL! Get this book horse lovers!!! I'm a mid-30's mom and I loved this book! :)

For horse lovers only!

From cover to cover, front to back, and over and over again! Our whole family loves this book!!! This book has very pretty pictures and a great fold out in the middle. Must read for horse lovers and company. Grooming, feeding and general care.We even used the pictures for our art class!!
