By A Customer
This review is from: DK Handbooks: Horses (Paperback)
My name is Katherine. I go to horse camp every summer. At camp we need to know a lot about horses. So 2 years ago, I bought this book. Now I'm one of the smartest kids at camp. This book includes all the horse breeds, all the pony breeds, Horse color, Horse History, Horse relatives and much, much more. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Book for Breed Identification and History,
By "3cedarsfarm" (new oxford, pa United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DK Handbooks: Horses (Paperback)
I am so glad that I purchased this book. I needed a reference guide to help me identify different breeds of horses and ponies for the Photo Model Horse Shows that I have been participating in. Since I will eventually judge a show, I needed to be prepared to classify horse breeds from the photograph entries that will be sent to me. It is easy to read, the photographs are lovely, and there were only a few breeds not listed. Good job!

Very Useful,
By katie (Highland, Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horses (Pockets Full of Knowledge) (Paperback)
I have been riding for ten years and still look back on this book to brush up on my horsemanship! I would recommend it to anyone who is beginning riding or is just getting a horse to have at home. The only thing missing from this book is riding information. It covers many breeds and why they are signifigant, and beginners horsemanship.

This a really cool book! I read it from cover to cover. I learned stuff about horses that I never knew and learned about breeds of horses that I never knew existed! This a good book for beginner horsenuts.

Great book for BASIC information on breeds,
By Annamarie (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Smithsonian Handbooks: Horses (Paperback)
I have a several-years-old copy of the Eyewtiness Handbooks version of this, which, as far as I can tell, is identical besides a slightly different cover. I love it. The pictures are great and it gives useful information on the breeds and the history of horses in general, but if you're looking for extremely detailed information on particular horse breeds, this isn't for you. I use it for a random book to read when I'm bored and as reference pictures for drawings. (I'm currently working on a "project" where I'm planning on drawing ever horse from the book) It would be a great gift for a horse-loving preteen or teenager, but somebody under the age of 10 probably would lose interest quickly because of the wordiness.

lots of information,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Smithsonian Handbooks: Horses (Paperback)
This book was excellent for my 8yr. old. It contains lots of information on horses without being too overwhelming. The color photos and scale depictions of size really captured her interest. I would definitely recommend this book for kids who are not actively involved in equestrian activities but want to learn more about different breeds of horses. The one draw-back I found was that my daughter collects figurines of different breeds, and some we just could not find in the book.

I treasure this book!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Horses (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to learn about horses! It had tons of different breeds, and I have read this TONS of times, and I enjoy it more each time! And, if you don't like to read, it's just as fun to just look at the pictures!

Great horse indentification book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: DK Handbooks: Horses (Paperback)
This book is great for identifying breeds and has almost all of the breeds (although I can name a few more, like the Mangalarga)and GREAT pictures. It also has information on the horse basic although I've seen better saddles than those in the photos. I really reccomend this book for anyone into horses.
