5.0 out of 5 stars This book really showed how truly great this breed is., April 6, 1999

This review is from: The American Saddlebred Horse (Learning about Horses) (Library Binding)

I really liked this book it gave historical and ancestory background. It compared the olden days American Saddlebred show horse to the present day flashy, bold-trotting, and that show horse we all know today as the one that makes a grand entrance into that show ring kinda' horse. Of course this horse is America's breed there is no other horse like it!!!

This book covers it all from breeding and conformation to showing and other disciplines ASB's are suited for. Very informative! I've had this book for 4 or 5 years, and I still have a hard time putting it down! GREAT pictures! Explains the different gaits and training equipment that Saddlebreds use. Also gives alot of information about the breeds used to make the Saddlebred. Includes information and pictures of the great Saddlebreds from the past. Great all around book, shows a little bit of every aspect that comes along with this breed!

1.0 out of 5 stars Isn't there something better out there?, June 7, 2001

This review is from: The American Saddlebred Horse (Learning about Horses) (Library Binding)

This grossly overpriced item has the look of a Golden Book. The photographs are basically a collection of victory passes taken by horse show photographers. The quality of the reproductions of those photographs is poor, and the cropping is even worse. Shouldn't younger readers expect a quality product, too?
