5.0 out of 5 stars A CENTURY OF BELGIAN HORSES IN AMERICA, March 13, 2000

This review is from: A Century of Belgian Horses in America (Paperback)

A very informative volume packed with hard to find information and photos. Detailed histories of the horses, their breeders and their exhibitors is included. As a member of a family once deeply involved with these fine work horses this book provided me with information and photos that I was unable to find anywhere else. With the principal people involved with the establishment of this breed in America diminishing with time, it should become an ever more valuable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Century of Belgians Horses in America, February 10, 2000

This review is from: A Century of Belgian Horses in America (Paperback)

I have been involved with belgain horses all my life. Studying pedigrees was limited, until I got this book. Nearly every horse I wish to find out more about is in here including their pictures. It's a resource I would not want to be without. I hope Maurice B. Tellen writes a sequel. This is probably the best book you will ever find on the American history of the belgian horse. He is also the founder of the Draft Horse Journal, a magazine published quarterly (anyone involved in the draft horse business should have it).

It is amazing that Mr. Telleen could put so much information in a well illustrated book like that. For someone who is interested in "Belgian horses" it is a must. For someone interested in "horses" it is a sign to get cheap information. Hope that I can find more books on Belgians in America. I do not mean only horses but also Belgian people overthere. I was in contact with someone who's father brought Belgian horses to Canada and The USA before WWI. Is there anyone by the way who know horseseller Vandenbroucke and Delannoy?
