Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for horse admirers

Bird-watchers have field guides. Hikers have field guides. Even weed-lovers even have field guides. Now horse-watchers have a field guide."Field Guide to Horses" by Kindrie Grove (Lone Pine Publishing, ...paperback, 176 pages) is a colorful and accessible reference guide to identifying horses. If you like to look at horses, but don't know a fetlock from a fore cannon, this is a remarkable little book. Thanks to easy-reading summaries and sharp artwork, you'll be able to find and identify horses by markings, coloring, gaits and behavior, and learn about equine history, vernacular and evolution all at the same time. This is a great book for people who drive across the country and wonder what all those pretty horses really are.If you want to go a little deeper, pick up Gail Bunney's "Horse Stories: Riding with the Wind" (Lone Pine Publishing, ...paperback, 224 pages). Bunney, a Canadian horse-trainer who even got married on horseback, collects her own horse tales, trying to convey some passion for the animals, as well as her own savvy and horse wisdom. "These stories don't tell how to buy a horse, how to train a horse, how to handle different temperaments or even how to break a horse to ride," the book says. "They are stories about one woman's enduring love for horses."

Horse Lovers Choice

I think that a true horse lover would definitely enjoy this book.This book isn't a chapter book like regular books,but it's still good.The auther divided the book into sections.For example,the first section is about the different breeds of ponies.The author has a picture of the horse,ponie,or other equines and underneath the picture it has information about the horse,ponie,etc.Well i've probally bored you enough with this review,and i probally won't win.So that's about it for my review.Oh and i recomend this book to all horse lovers everywhere.
