I chose this book for an introduction to equine science class I teach at the university level. I think that it is an excellent book for those students with little background with horses; however, I hear from more advanced horse-people that they enjoy the book, READ IT (!), and they are glad to have it as a reference book on their bookshelves. In my opinion, any college text that isn't destined to be sold back to the bookstore is a good choice.

I had this book for a college class and it is terrible. I found it to be very, very vague on it's topics and just barely skims the surface. The diagrams are drawings, and they are not very good for the representation. If you want to learn about equine science, this is not the book.

I bought this book for my 17 year old daughter to supplement her equine mentorship program for homeschooling. What an outstanding textbook. Very well organized and attractive photos. Can easily be used for about 8th grade through 12th grade. The only downside is that there are no answers to the questions at the end of the chapters and no teacher's guide. This is definitely a textbook format and we both love the book. I have been homeschooling for 16 years and this is one of the best I have seen in a long time. You won't be sorry you bought it.

I found this book very informative. Although it is not extremely detailed, I thought that the author provided sufficient detail to make it worth the time to read, especially as a reference book.

Like a couple of people reviewing this, I needed this text for an equine-related college class. Clear, concise (for a college text), this is a good book for introductory reading material.

This book is well-written, easily comprehendable, and organized well. It is great for high school age without being so complex that it would be better suited to college. It has lots of illustrations, tables and other information to make it easier to comprehend and more useful in everyday life.

One reviewer I read lamented that there was no resource with Question Keys, Tests, and Test Keys. There is!! It is called Classmasters and is on CD Rom. My copy has not yet arrived, so I cannot vouch for it. I have only one small complaint: this is the third edition, and a couple times the questiions at the end of the chapter asked about subjects no longer found in the text. Otherwise, this is a great choice.

the book that i received was the exact book that i ordered. it was in perfect condition and nothing was wrong with it.
