Having grown up in Central Kentucky, I have had the pleasure of being around Thoroughbreds all my life. For the past 20 years, I have made my living in the Thoroughbred industry. "Why Do Horses Sleep Standing Up?" is another example that no individual can know everything there is to know about these great animals. It is a truly wonderful book that provides colorful insight as to why horses do some of the things they do.

I bought this book for a friend's birthday and looked through it before giving it to her and found it very interesting and informative. The questions are questions that the least to the most experienced horseman or women would relate to. The answers are informative and the print is not to small or large. I would recommend this book to everyone.

I've owned or been around horses my entire life, but I still learned things I didn't know about them when I read this book.
Those peculiar behaviors unique to equines -- perhaps always taken for granted as 'one of those things' are brought to light in this thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining book.

Very BASIC book. A great little gift for those who are novice horse lovers! Definitely a starter book for those little ones who may want to work with horses when they grow up.

Bought this as a gift for a young friend. I read it first and enjoyed it very much. I thought I knew a fair bit about horses, but I learned quite a bit and found the book very entertaining.

I have grown up around horses all my life and I am a riding instructor. This book is easy to read and has great information on why horses do some of the things they do. I recommend this book to all my students no matter if they are beginner or advanced. Worth adding to your horse library!

I ordered this for my 8 year old horse crazy girl. She devoured this book! She learned a lot and refers back to it from time to time. Definitaly a good choice for a gift for horse crazy people, kids or adults.

This book answers all of the questions you might have regarding horses and their behavior. It's a fascinating and fun book to read and keep as a reference for anyone interested in horses. It also makes a great gift for any horse lover.

This is a very informative little book providing lots of ah ha moments.
It is a quick easy fun read. Highly recommended.

This is a fun book that covers questions varying from where the term "Charley Horse" came from, to the size of their brains. Enjoyable reading for the new or experienced horsemen, as well as a great taking off spot for sparking discussion in pony clubs, 4-H, or other equestrian youth groups.
