 Wonderful information for all horseowners.Jan 12, 1999
This book takes the reader through the history of equines, and continues with the modern horse and its needs. Purchasing, grooming, handling, disease and nutrition are a few of the subjects addressed. Excellent color photos and examples.

A wonderful book that covers everything!!!!!May 07, 1999
This book was a wonderful source for me to look to for anything I needed to know. It also taught me many things I didn't know but needed to. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about horses!

Wonderful book.Apr 20, 1999
This was one of the best horse books I've read. It thoroughly covers care, tack, riding, history-everything! Although it didn't give step-by-step instructions for everything, it was a complete and satisfying book to read.

 not impressed..Jun 22, 2003
much of this book was helpful, but i was immediately disappointed when i saw his foal handling techniques. most of them are cruel and unnecessary(sp?), in fact, as between us my mother and i have halter 'broken' two foals, simply by getting their trust and making halters and ropes safe, fun things. in his book he describes twisting ears, twitching, tying to a post in an covered roundyard as a way of halter breaking. although i agree that in an emergency/dangerous situation, twictching a horse may be the only way to save its life, it is not a good training solution or vet aid. definately not a book for the horse LOVER.
