This is the best reference horse book i've ever seen. The detail is in every page. I would say this is the only horse reference book you would ever need. Worth Every Penny Spent!

A very comprehensive book, with about 500 pages and tons of information. The definitions are a little short, but they get to the point and when more information is needed it can usually be found. After only a few minutes with the book, i found that everything is cross-referenced and easy to find. I had picked this up as an impulse buy, but don't regret it in the least. The articles (when they are detailed) are very unbiased (for example- an equal comparison between English and western riding styles... not a very common find.) This book is perfect for both the new rider and experienced horse owner.

This book covered so much about horses!! Being a begginer I didnt know a lot about horses but when I got this book I learned so much! My instructor was so surprized and happy! Anyone who wants to know anything about horses should buy this book!

This is a very comprehensive encyclopedia, covering much more than merely equine terminology. The book is filled with information on topics such as equine care and handling, ailments/symptoms and how to address them, equine nutrition, plants that are poisonous to horses, horse anatomy, aspects of showmanship, how to choose an instructor and much much more -- topics too extensive to mention all of them here. You can't go wrong with this book.

This is such a great book!!! It's got everything you could ever think to ask about horses from A to Z.If you have this book you dont need any other books!!!! Highly recomended to anyone who has or likes horses!

I recommend that this be one of the first books to buy for the beginning or intermediate horseman. It is truly an A-to-Z guide, concise, clear, and thorough. It will save you a lot of time trying to figure out what people mean when they toss around horse-world terms. It includes clear illustrations and useful instructions.

My daughter got this book for her birthday. She loves it and says it is great just like all the other books that Story's do.

Awsome book, has every thing you need to know about horses

Horse lovers and owners should have the Horse-Lover's Encyclopedia as a home mainstay, while public libraries located anywhere near a rural area should have the Horse-Lover's Encyclopedia on their reference shelf. This is a comprehensive, A to Z encyclopedia of horses, from breeds and horse care to stable lore, and provides all kinds of details on everything from caring for hooves to performance and rodeo competition training. Small photos and diagrams throughout make for an excellent, basic handbook on the horse.
