Grade 5 Up-Both novices and knowledgeable enthusiasts will discover a feast for the eyes on each page of this pictorial study. Along with spreads detailing the animal's anatomy, there are two double-page spreads illustrated with full-color photographs of the various breeds, divided into light and heavy horses. Following this overview, the guide briefly focuses on the care and activities of equines today, including grooming, shoeing, racing, jumping, and equipment. A comprehensive index allows for quick access to the striking, clearly labeled illustrations and photos. Whether readers are browsing or searching for specific information, they will enjoy exploring this book. It will be a popular addition to collections in which Juliet Clutton-Brock's Horse (Knopf, 1992) is in demand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Horse Terms, Breeds,etc, February 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Visual Dictionary of the Horse (Hardcover)

This book is jammed packed with lots of great color photos and info. I was looking for a book to learn about horses since I never been around them from growing up in the city and now I'm needing to learn about them since I want to be a veterinarian and it goes over terminology, colors and markings, skeletel, muscular and other systems of the horse,types of horses, equipment, etc all matched with great color photos. Its only 64 pages but what a great foundation.
