Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This comprehensive guide to the popular American Quarter Horse, the world's most popular horse breed, will be a welcome addition to all libraries serving horse enthusiasts. Although the book concentrates on the history and background of the Quarter Horse breed, it is packed with practical advice and information for any prospective horse owner. All the basics of horse ownership are discussed: stabling, pasture needs, feeding, grooming, daily care, equipment, tack, trailering, first aid, and types of riding. Price, the author of 12 books on equestrian topics, writes in a conversational style and takes a realistic approach to horse ownership. This work was prepared with the full cooperation of the American Quarter Horse Association. Recommended for all equine collections.?Deborah Emerson, Leroy V.

Review

"[This book] will teach you how to care for and work with horses and their equipment...The best teacher of all, however, is the horse himself...This volume will teach you how to see, and not just look at a horse...A horse doesn't think like a person, but a person can learn to think like a horse."
--Don Burt, past president of AQHA and author of Showing the American Quarter Horse, from the Foreword
-- Review --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for owners and riders of this remarkable animal, March 6, 2005
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
The American Quarter Horse Association has participated in producing The American Quarter Horse: An Introduction To Selection, Care, And Enjoyment, a virtual 'bible' of detail on the American quarter house, packing in details for all levels of riders and owners from novices to professionals. From an introductory history of the breed to detailed tips on selecting a horse, stabling, grooming and health, black and white and color photos throughout supplement all the basics needed to own or assess a quarter horse. The American Quarter Horse is an essential reference and a "must" for owners and riders of this remarkable animal.
