Feeding a horse the right amount of food, putting on the proper equipment, and knowing when to call the vet are not tasks that can be left to chance. With Hispanics and Latinos now dominating the equine work force, the language barrier can pose a problem for bosses and employees alike. That's where The Ultimate English-Spanish Dictionary for Horsemen can help. Written specifically for horse people, the dictionary covers topics and words that regular English-Spanish dictionaries might not. For example, horse health care, feeding, grooming, tack and equipment, and breeding terms are part of the more than 10,000 topically grouped word and phrase entries commonly used in the horse industry. Additional features include a points of the horse illustration labeled in both Spanish and English, regional variations, and a pronunciation guide.

The only book on English and Spanish horse terms. ...

January 30, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The only book on English and Spanish horse terms. While there could be improvements for a second version, it is a must have for every horse owner who is around both English and Spanish speaking people.

Wonderful for the staff and myself.

April 14, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Working for an equine assisted therapy center in Texas, we do have some clients for whom English is a second language. This is invaluable for helping us translate horse terms, something you won't find in a traditional Spanish/English dictionary.

pretty good, but needs better navigation

August 24, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was pretty good, but lacks some pretty familiar terminology, difficult to navigate. We had a lot of trouble figuring out how to tell the Mexican guys taking care of our horses that a colt was being gelded, and figuring out how to tell them a horse is a gelding. Difficult to tell them that this horse needs his legs wrapped, that one needs turnout for 20 min, another one is colicky, don't feed him, and if anybody has navicular or founder, not able to easily convey it. Perhaps could make a differentiation in Mexican, Cuban, Spain, and South American countries, but I admit that is just "picking" and this is still a good book to have. Huge thick book, but again, needs to be easier to navigate, in my opinion. that said, it is well worth having.

much needed

June 23, 2010

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is essential if you are working with spanish speaking people around horses. It is organized along topic lines so if you are teaching a lesson, you can refer to the terms you will need by that section. If you are talking to your groom, there is a section on that. Or if you are the barn manager and need to communicate tasks, etc., there is a section on that too. And all equestrian disciplines are covered. This book is indispensible anytime you have a spanish-speaking horse person.

The best

August 12, 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is the best I've seen and a must have for anyone in the horse industry. I just ordered a second copy for my son-in-law an equine veterinarian. It makes it easy to communicate with barn workers, trainers etc. who speak Spanish as their first language. An absolutely great tool that it easy to use and filled with vocabularly you can't find anywhere else. I think every college with an equine-related major or minor should have this book available in their bookstore.

Handy Reference Book

February 22, 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is truly a "must have" if, like me, you live near the US/Mexican border and own horses. Actually, this is the THIRD copy of this book I've purchased because when I've loaned these books to people, I never see them again.

Argentina

April 1, 2008

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book primarily to take with me to Argentina where I play polo. While this book was still useful, there are lots of words and phrases that are just different down here. For instance, nobody calls a polo mallet a "martillo de polo" (polo hammer), everyone calls them tacos. Calling it that seems just as odd to Argentines as "baseball mallet" would seem to Americans. A polo ball is not so much a "pelota de polo" as a "bocha." To play "stick and ball" is to "taquear" (an important verb not in the book). The polo field is almost always called a "cancha" not a "campo." A match is "un match," not usually "un juego." The word "montar," while understood, is never used, using "andar a caballo" pretty much exclusively. Some of the equipment and some of the words are also different down here. This may seem nitpicky, but Argentina is the most important polo country in the world and horses are probably more important in Argentina than in any other Spanish-speaking country.

A Must Own for Any Horse Person

January 27, 2008

Format: Paperback

I searched high and low for an industry specific English/Spanish dictionary...this book is a show stopper. Organized into topical chapters (shoeing the horse, feeds, feed supplements, racing, polo, etc), the words are organized alphabetically within each section. It is comprehensive and easy to navigate. It is the gold standard for English/Spanish dictionaries. Everyone on my team owns one!
