this is a great book for kids i am 12 and love this i was going to purchace storys guide to horses but instead i got this book it is awesome it has fun crafts and things to make and has important things to like how to lead and hold the reins little bits of important information are placed everywhere i love this book you really should get a sample if you arent sure but you will end up buying it!

On the positive side, I found this book to be really cute and informative. It's fun for both kids and adults! Lots of ideas, tips and information covering pretty much every aspect of enjoying horses. My only gripe is that there is some misinformation here and there. For instance, the author states that the horse Genuine Risk was injured in a race and had a "sad ending" (page 199). Genuine Risk was in fact never injured in a race and she lived a long, pleasant life in retirement. As another example, the author states that the Tennessee Walker has only three accepted colors (black, bay and chestnut), when in fact there are MANY accepted colors (palomino, buckskin, gray, perlino, champagne, cremello, red roan, black roan, pinto, etc.). There are other "goofs" here and there that I find disappointing. I think the author should have done a little more research before publishing this book.

If you're looking for the smartest investment for your horse crazy child, this book is for you. It is the perfect resource to drop into the clutches of a young person WITH or WITHOUT a horse of their own. It's packed with ways to enjoy horses without having to spend lots of money---either by the child or parent. It introduces an amazingly huge world of horse-related events, activities, crafts, and challenges (past & present) that is sure to appeal to young people yearning to grasp the full meaning of equestrian!

This is a great book. It has lots of information on different types of horse, practical do's, don't's and lots of other interesting facts. Would buy it again and recommend it to everyone who loves horses or even just likes horses.
