Rating: Summary: A milk-toast book on horses and horse care Review: As a first time horse owner and long-time animal lover I found that this book touched so lightly on subjects related to horses and horse care that I found it frustrating. It skimmed over subjects that warranted more information. I didn't feel after reading it that I had the information I needed. There certainly is some good information in the book but left me searching for better books on horses and horse care.
Rating: Summary: All-around terrific book for horse lovers and others Review: This is a well-organized, comprehensive, and engagingly written introduction to all aspects of horse lore and horse ownership. The authors are as friendly as they are entertaining. It's worth a read just to see what the next clever heading will be! Fortunately the text is also succinct and clear. All topics are presented in straightforward, highly readable prose. A detailed contents list provides easy topic-specific access, and there are appendixes to guide readers to information from other sources. A thoroughly enjoyable read, and a great gift for all age groups and interest levels.
Rating: Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST BOOK ON HORSES! Review: This is simply the best book on the subject for anyone thinking of owning or learning to ride a horse, period. Any beginner should start here, and if you buy only one book, make it this one. Yet anyone can benefit from the accumulated wisdom. The sidebars and boxes are particularly great. 5 Stars!
Rating: Summary: A great primer on horses! Review: This treasure is jam-packed with basic info as well as trivia tidbits, such as "From the Horse's Mouth" and "Horse Lore" highlights. Covers everything from "accessories" to "zoning," and is easy, informative and entertaining reading.
