Equine Trivia 101

This is a fun book that covers questions varying from where the term "Charley Horse" came from, to the size of their brains. Enjoyable reading for the new or experienced horsemen, as well as a great taking off spot for sparking discussion in pony clubs, 4-H, or other equestrian youth groups.

An entertaining and informative read

I've owned or been around horses my entire life, but I still learned things I didn't know about them when I read this book. Those peculiar behaviors unique to equines -- perhaps always taken for granted as 'one of those things' are brought to light in this thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining book.

Horse knowledge

I bought this book for a friend's birthday and looked through it before giving it to her and found it very interesting and informative. The questions are questions that the least to the most experienced horseman or women would relate to. The answers are informative and the print is not to small or large. I would recommend this book to everyone.
