Most Helpful Customer Reviews 30 of 32 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST!, November 20, 2000 By  "bridmorgan" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews This book was recommended to me when I was attending college for Equine Studies. The book is great! A must for those who wish to know more indepth about the care of horses. Not for the novice. It was so nice to read a book that didn't spend most of the chapters on grooming and mounting. You won't find that here. The four authors are some of the best horsemen in the business and Anthony Borton was one of my professors. I highly recommend this book to anyone taking any Equine studies or anyone who wants to learn more than just the basics.

It is an excellent source for reference for breeds, colors, feeding, anatomy, barn construction and management. It also offers an excellent source for learning about horse behavior, which is helpful to owners and trainers. It is an "adult" format and not geared for young readers. An must have addition for any horse library! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent wealth of knowledge!, December 22, 2002 By  Terry Ulski "bookhorse" (Shakopee, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews Very thorough and informative text book.
