The Spirit of America

The book, "International Encyclopedia of Horses and Ponies", edited by Jane Kidd, clearly captures the American dream by displaying the importance of our horses and our ponies through its literal simplicity and use of cold hard facts. I was surprised by "The International Encyclopedia of Horses and Ponies," at first glance, I had shunned it as simple fact and needless, boring information. I was wrong.

Its freaking awesome.

The Appaloosa Horse, the Missouri Fox Trotter, the Paso Fino. How would I have learned this godly information without this glorious book?

I certainly recommend this book to be bought, if not set up in a shrine of sorts hanging above your mantle. Or perhaps used in place of the bible in a court of criminal justice. Whatever the case, buy this book.
