A perfect resource book for horses

I disagree with the last post. This book is the best resource book for everything about horses. It is well-researched, well-written, and easy to read. It is very easy to find the exact information you may be looking for and explains it all simply and clearly: the perfect book to have on hand for the beginner or even the experienced horseperson, especially when you're looking for accurate and concise information. It is also clever, humorous, and interesting. And yes, the sidebars are fabulous!

SIMPLY THE BEST BOOK ON HORSES!

This is simply the best book on the subject for anyone thinking of owning or learning to ride a horse, period. Any beginner should start here, and if you buy only one book, make it this one. Yet anyone can benefit from the accumulated wisdom. The sidebars and boxes are particularly great. 5 Stars!

All-around terrific book for horse lovers and others

This is a well-organized, comprehensive, and engagingly written introduction to all aspects of horse lore and horse ownership. The authors are as friendly as they are entertaining. It's worth a read just to see what the next clever heading will be! Fortunately the text is also succinct and clear. All topics are presented in straightforward, highly readable prose. A detailed contents list provides easy topic-specific access, and there are appendixes to guide readers to information from other sources. A thoroughly enjoyable read, and a great gift for all age groups and interest levels.

A great primer on horses!

This treasure is jam-packed with basic info as well as trivia tidbits, such as "From the Horse's Mouth" and "Horse Lore" highlights. Covers everything from "accessories" to "zoning," and is easy, informative and entertaining reading.

A must for horse lovers!

Here is a book that gives a broad overview of everything "horses". The information is concise and written with a touch of humor. Be sure to check out the color photo section in the middle of the book to see pictures of different breeds of horses ranging from Arabians to Miniature horses. The resource section is extensive and allows the reader to pursue interesting topics in greater detail. It is a must for those new to horses and would also be very useful to those who already own horses.
