Trace the ancestry of your horse,
By Pamela Bertram (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legends: Outstanding Quarter Horse Stallions and Mares (Volume 1) (Paperback)
This book provided the ancestry of the horses that started the American Quarterhorse breed. It was fun to take my horses' lineage and be able to trace it all the way back to the original King Ranch horses. I found out why my horse has such hard feet, why she likes to run so much, and found that she is the spitting image of one of her ancestors. I could hear the stories of her great grandsires and great granddams, the lives that they led, the places they lived, their temperaments, their quirks of behavior. I feel that I know my own horse better after seeing where she came from. I highly recommend this and the other volumnes of this series.

Nostalgia and breeding history for quarter horse enthusiats,
By jlbenke@atnet.net (Columbia Basin, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legends: Outstanding Quarter Horse Stallions and Mares (Volume 1) (Paperback)
Quarter horses are more than a hobby. They embody America's romance with western history. Knowing the foresires and dams of our quarter horses brings past and present together. This series on foundation horses is well-researched, without being tedious. Stories illustrating the charactor of these prime horses are lively, engaging, even heart-warming, and short. Those of us who love our AQHA horses must include this in our library.

A must for foundation quarter horse enthusiasts. Gives an understanding of the qualities that made these horses (and their offspring) great.
