1.0 out of 5 stars I'M BEGINNING TO SEE A PATTERN, October 17, 2006

This review is from: Allen Illustrated Guide to Horse Clothing (Hardcover)

I have to admit that I was curious about this book because, unlike her books, BITS AND BITTING and THE ALLEN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO SADDLERY, the price was more reasonable than the previous two.

But in getting into the book I find that very little has changed. GUIDE TO HORSE CLOTHING is essentially a guide to everything that a rider doesn't really need. Vernon continues with too many generalities to incomplete and confusing information, and the book, in the end, goes absolutely nowhere. And so the pattern continues. Besides, you don't want your horse to be a clothes horse anyway.

These Allen's Illustrated books are super for use in teaching Pony Clubbers, 4-Hers, etc. about equipment used in the equine industry. The color illustrations are fantastic. Anyone working on a Quiz Rally (think MegaRoom) or Quiz Bowl will find them useful. They are clear about what each item is and its use.
