5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!!, November 24, 1997
I would say that this is one of the most definitive books on horse color. The author is a well known expert on horse color genetics. I gave it a 9 only because it is surpassed by his newest book on the same subject. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in horse colors. It lists not only the common colors in all their shades, but rare and unusual colors, too. The information included in this book is thorough and easy to understand. I have really gotten a lot of use from this awesome title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but outdated by the author himself, April 6, 2001
By "suepstewrt" (Bolivar TX USA) - See all my reviews
It's important for all to note that this is a *reprint* of an older book. It contains some outdated information, including some that was corrected in Sponenberg's later book. Although this one is less expensive, I suggest buying Equine Color Genetics instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars There are better books out there on horse color., August 3, 2001
By A Customer
This is a reprint of an old book. It contains outdated information and some incorrect information. The names used for color identification are combinations of England terms, Spanish and old west, they don't fit any one region nor are they accurate. If you truly want a treasure-trove of information, that demystifies the interrelationships of color, identifies different colors, explains the occurrence of rare colors, and discusses the responsibilities of breeders. One that features explanatory diagrams, a detailed summary of information in the appendix, and nearly 200 full-color photographs that accurately depict the different breeds and coat colors, a resource breeders will find themselves referring to again and again. Pick up Horse Color Explained by Jeanette Gower, you will be glad you did.
