5.0 out of 5 stars Miniature Horses Their Care, Breeding&Coat Colors, December 18, 2000

BEVERLY ANN THAWLEY - KNOLLAC FARM (MILFORD, DE United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miniature Horses - Their Care, Breeding And Coat Colors (Hardcover)

Having been a breeder of Miniature Horses for over 12 years I have often been frustrated by the lack of accurate printed information to suggest to other Miniature Horse beginners. This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone involved with Miniature Horses. It is very helpful to prospective owners in supplying information on just what to expect with the breed regarding care including types of housing and fencing. This book has been a long time coming. I suggest it to everyone who comes to my farm to look at horses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miniature Horses; Their Care Breeding and Coat Colors, May 20, 2001

Bob and Debbi Brown, Unicorner Miniatures (Axtell, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miniature Horses - Their Care, Breeding And Coat Colors (Hardcover)

This is an absolutely wonderful book! We will recommend it to all of our mini buyers. Barbara definitely knows miniature horses and has passed it along in this book. She covers EVERYTHING about miniatures, we especially loved the coat color section. A "must have" for all miniature horse (and other) breeders.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Miniature Horses - Their Care, Breeding And Coat Colors (Hardcover)

This is THE book on miniature horses. My library would not be complete without it. If you can buy only one book, get this one. I've just acquired 2 minis and one more is on the way as soon as he is weaned. I've had full sized horses before, but this breed is somewhat different, with unique problems and advantages. Ms. Naviaux covers every related subject very well. History of the breed, coat colors, dwarfism, correct physical characteristics, miniature horse association registration, veterinary concerns, showing, etc. I've since bought additional books specific to coat color and veterinary care but I didn't really need them. I am thrilled to have found this book and it is a treasure.
