Horse: The Complete Guide (Complete Animal Guides)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent overview for the novice
Review: Although no one area is covered in any great depth, it provides enough general knowledge to point the reader in the right direction for further research. General areas include basic physio information, care, tack ,feeding, health issues and diseases, an overview of various equestrian disciplines, and probably the most comprehensive (and well photographed) listing of known breeds with brief descriptions of each.
My 11 yr.-old daughter (new horse owner) was given a copy for her birthday last year and it is almost in tatters from constant use!

Summary: Perfect beginner book on the horse
Review: I personally own this book and plan to purchase another one to give as a gift to a lady who runs a riding stable. She teaches younger riders and beginner adults. It is a nice addition to her library. It's beautifully done with prints, photographs, and general information on the breeds, different sports, health and care of the noble animal we know as the horse. If this is a consideration for purchase, I rate this as an excellent buy.
