Horse Facts

This comprehensive study of horses was exactly what I was looking for. It is informative and to the point. Just enough info.

This book covers the orgins of the horse and how they spread, their domestication, as well as working horses, horses in war, and the sporting horse. How horses think, learn, hear, and communicate are very informative and interesting. The book also explains the points of the horse, colors and markings, how the horse moves, coat and grooming, teeth and hooves, breeding, foalhood, and health. In the second half of the book, it discusses the various breeds according to the area they originated from and has drawings of each breed as well as key facts, ancestry, and history/current use. It is "the indispensable fact-finder for everyone interested in horses, horse car, or riding." I have used this book over and over and have gained lots of knowledge through this book. It is written in a very clear and easy-to-understand format by experts.
