Horse

I bought this for my granddaughter who loves horses. It has beautiful photographs and is arranged very well. I'm sure she'll love it.

Great book for horse lovers -- children or adult alike

Eyewitness Books are one of those rare collections of books geared toward children that can also be happily read by adults. If you have a young horse lover in the family, get this book for them. It gives lots and lots of easily read information on breeds, body part names, tack, history, use, etc. I keep a copy on my own book shelves and have given out several copies to kids who come to visit the riding stable where I work. You cannot go wrong with this book.

Another Great Eyewitness Book!

This book is about the horse. I am not the most learned person about horses so this book was excellent for me. It provided good information and visuals so I could understand better about them. I think my students will love this book also. They are always eager to receive a new Eyewitness book into the classroom and many look over the photos of all the covers and request more. They love them!

Picture Perfect -Horse of course

This is a well planned and wonderfully illustrated book on horses, with many great rare photos of exotic members of the horse family. I was truly delighted to find good close up pictures of equines that are on the endangered list and and text written in easy to understand english. For the child or the adult this is a must for the horseman's library.

Great Intro to Horse Terms, Breeds,etc

This book is jammed packed with lots of great color photos and info. I was looking for a book to learn about horses since I never been around them from growing up in the city and now I'm needing to learn about them since I want to be a veterinarian and it goes over terminology, colors and markings, skeletel, muscular and other systems of the horse,types of horses, equipment, etc all matched with great color photos. Its only 64 pages but what a great foundation.
