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.

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.

I gave this to my 13 yo niece. She loves this book and has a large selection of horse books. She also loves to draw and uses it as a guide.

A Must have book for anyone who love's horses. The 1,001 reasons to love Horses were all too true. The pictures are very beautiful. I have the book on my coffee table and everyone that comes to my home opens and starts reading say that they really enjoy it.

I absolutely loved this book. It had a reproduction of a print in it of Hambletonian from Early American times which I had been looking for for 20 years; but all the pics were marvelous, no matter which sort of horses one loves; I recommend this book without reservation. (Probably this review is not necessary; I'm sure that others before me have felt as enthusiastic as I, however I was so thrilled to finally find my picture, I had to add my two cents.)

I loooooove this book! The photographs are beautiful, and the reasons are brilliant, too. Here are some of my favorites: 999 With horses, we face our fears and find our courage. 1 learning the secret language of the horse. 72 Standing asleep, one hind foot hocked. And there are many, many more. If you are hesitating if you want to buy this book or not, don't! If you love horses, you'll love this book! :-)
