In more than 300 photographs and lists, quotations and excerpts, nostalgia and fantasy, this book celebrates our timeless relationship with horses. There's the rough-and-tumble style of the Western horse (both past and present) and the elegant refinement of the Eastern show ring. There are horses in the wild and in the safety of stable and paddock. The horse is both mythical and workaday, a favourite of gamblers and sportsmen, little girls and elderly farmers, the middle class and the upper crust. Few are totally immune to horse fever - in fact, horses, riding, and racing are enjoying a surge in popularity in the past few years, including an increase in adult riders and publication of books on the subject.

Not just for horse lovers,
This review is from: 1,001 Reasons to Love Horses (Hardcover)
I thought I knew all the reasons to love horses but Sheri and Mary have catalogued just a few more (1001 to be exact). The appeal of this book is not limited to horse lovers,though. Each page is a work of art. The photographs are captivating. The reasons are compelling. The pages are each pulled together with beautiful illustrations and borders. 1001 Reasons to Love Horses has given me the opportunity to relive many "horsey" memories and a greater appreciation for the history and beauty of the horse. I recently shipped two additional copies to friends to mark special moments in their lives. This beautiful book will make a wonderful addition to any family room.

The Power of Passion,

This review is from: 1,001 Reasons to Love Horses (Hardcover)
A friend sent me this wonderful book, because he thought I would like it. He was right. The photographs and artwork are varied and blend in well with the topics. As with any book such as this no one topic gets much coverage, but there is a wealth of information contained with in the book.
What struck most was the love and passion the authors have for horses. As I read and reread the book I was amazed at the poer of love and passion that is expressed by blending of the narrative with the design of the book. "A 1001 Reasons to Love Horses" is truely a testement to the power to known and love something for a lifetime. After reading the book I felt humbled and promised myself to learn more and more about the things I love.
