As an avid horse enthusiast, I am fascinated with the accuracy and unique facts in Gary Mullen's book. Also the colorful presentation of the material makes for very easy reading. I am honored that information about Molly the Pony: A True Story was included in the book. I highly recommend Mr. Mullen's book to anyone interested in horses.

This review is from: Amazing Horse Facts And Trivia (Amazing Facts & Trivia) (Spiral-bound)

From famous television horsenalities to calculating how tall your foal will grow, from the oldest, or largest known horse, to the smallest horse, from unicorns to mythical horses, this book is a wonderful addition to any home library, or business lobby.
Full of beautiful pictures on horse breeds, saddles & tack, feeding, horses in history, and much, much more. You do not have to be a horse lover to enjoy this book.
