Draft horses and mules are alive and doing very well. After falling to near extinction levels in the 1940s they have now grown in numbers and popularity to become firmly established as a source of power on farms, as an alternative to heavy machinery in logging operations, and as a part of equine recreation industry. This book is a celebration of this renewed interest in draft horses and mules. Discussions on breeds, finding a horse, where equipment and machinery can be found, how to find people to train draft horses. Photos illustrating how people are using their draft horses and mules. 290 color photos, an Appendix listing names and addresses of 30 organizations, magazines, and suppliers which serve the industry, and an Index which lists people and photographers who are featured in the book.

It may seem like a pricey book but it is worth every penny. It is beautifully illustrated and gives an accurate picture of the role of the modern day draft horse. If you are tired of draft horse books that only look to the past, this book is definitely for you.

This review is from: Draft Horses Today (Hardcover)
I had gotten this book years ago, as one of my first "draft horse" books, It has some of the wonderful images that Mr Mischka is well know for in his draft and driving calenders, as well as background history. If you are at all intrested in the Gental Giants of the horse world, this book is for you!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful - 166 pages of sheer bliss!,

This review is from: Draft Horses Today (Hardcover)
I didn't know until a few minutes ago that Amazon sold Bob Mischka's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful book. I bought my copy elsewhere, probably at The Ohio State Fair some years ago, but I can assure potential buyers that it's a treasury for draft horse lovers - 166 big pages of sheer bliss with superb pictures and excellent descriptive text. Bob deserves a medal for this and his other books as well as his superb calendars. Get it or them for Christmas!
