Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

Feeding a horse the right amount of food, putting on the proper equipment, and knowing when to call the vet are not tasks that can be left to chance. With Hispanics and Latinos now dominating the equine work force, the language barrier can pose a problem for bosses and employees alike. That's where The Ultimate English-Spanish Dictionary for Horsemen can help. Written specifically for horse people, the dictionary covers topics and words that regular English-Spanish dictionaries might not. For example, horse health care, feeding, grooming, tack and equipment, and breeding terms are part of the more than 10,000 topically grouped word and phrase entries commonly used in the horse industry. Additional features include a points of the horse illustration labeled in both Spanish and English, regional variations, and a pronunciation guide.

This book is the best I've seen and a must have for anyone in the horse industry. I just ordered a second copy for my son-in-law an equine veterinarian. It makes it easy to communicate with barn workers, trainers etc. who speak Spanish as their first language. An absolutely great tool that it easy to use and filled with vocabularly you can't find anywhere else. I think every college with an equine-related major or minor should have this book available in their bookstore.

This book is truly a "must have" if, like me, you live near the US/Mexican border and own horses. Actually, this is the THIRD copy of this book I've purchased because when I've loaned these books to people, I never see them again.
