I have owned this book for a few months now and have read it cover to cover many times, learing and finding something new each time. This book gives interesting information and clear instruction on every aspect of horses, riding, and horse care, from grooming, clipping, and braiding to riding styles, position, and horse breeds. There is NOTHING that this book does not talk about! There are amazing, big, bright, and colorful photographs on every page of this book. Whether you have been around horses for a week or twenty years, you will definately benefit and learn from this book! I have not found anything to complain about with this book- it is definately worth what I paid. I will be reading and learning from this wonderful book for a very long time.

I would rate this book at 100 stars, if that were possible. There is nothing you don't learn about horses in this book. It is a great guide to use when you are inexperienced around horses. It helps you learn so much about them. There is a great guide to all of the breeds of horses in this book. Anyone who rides, shows, or just loves horses should own The Horse Companion. This is one of the best books about horses I have ever read. Anyone who has a love for horses should read The Horse Companion.

I bought this book probably 5 or 6 months ago, when we were just considering getting a horse. after reading it, i came away really excited about buying our first "baby." it covers everything from history to riding basics. This book probably tripled my knowledge of horses. its beautifully illustrated. very easy to read, especially great for somebody starting out, yet helpful for experienced horse people too. We have 2 horses now, and i find myself back in this book at least twice a week reviewing different areas...the farrier is coming, what should i expect? what did they say about loading? what's that funky looking brush for? its simply great!
