This was a really good book, covering many basics in the conditioning, feeding and grooming of halter horses. It was clear, concise, and easy for most levels to understand. I would not say it is for someone brand new to horses or showing though. There were tips on handling and showing stallions as well as an explanation of why acupuncture is used on halter horses. I would have like to have seen more info on actually being in the show pen, little tips and secrets that can be helpful when showing.

This book goes into extreme detail requiring extreme investment in preparing horses for halter classes. While the advice is very good and you can see what lengths some are willing to go to, it goes far beyond most people's capacity. As a Foundation Quarter Horse owner and breeder, I will take a lot of the advice to heart, but there's a lot that, for my type of showing, is way over the top.

This is a WONDERFUL book for the beginner and amateur competitor who needs a little more finish on their horse in the show ring. It's very detailed and easy to understand-I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to show western halter horses!
