The Arabian Show Horse

Rating:
Summary: The Arabian Show Horse
Review: First, The Arabian Show Horse is not a guide on showing your Arabian. It might be more aptly titled Skippers Complaint. The Book is a critique on the development of Arabian horse breeding in context with what the author believes is breeding for show type and ignoring the classic Arabian characteristics. For the American reader, unless you are really up on British breeding programs the horses won't ring many bells as far individual horse recognition.
Amid the criticisms there is plenty of historical and interesting information. Many beautiful pictures. I guess overall I could have done without the authors biases while complaining about those of other breeders.
