Summary: Actually I enjoyed the book - Not 4 stars but CLOSE.
Review: I agree it needed more detail. BUT, I think it makes a great quick reference. If fact, it would of been better to shrink down the size of the book to make it easier to pack around. It makes a nice gift for the beginner and average horseperson. If you are into breeding and buying, it is helpful - but you might want more detail. I like the suggested exercise to help improve horse performance - but it could of been expanded on. I do NOT regret buying it. Everyone that has borrowed the book - ask where did I get it and they enjoyed it.

Summary: This book could have been great, but.......
Review: I odered this book with high hopes. The premise is wonderful. The left page lists a conformational aspect and information about it. The right page is supposed to have photos illustrating that fault. This is where the book falls apart, most of the photos are so small that they don't illustrate anything. Some of them are just pretty pictures that make no attempt to do anything but decorate the page. A single GOOD photo of each fault is expected, but not delivered. To make matters worse, the author doesn't seem to distinguish between highly prized breed characteristics, like jibbahs, and faults! Someone should take this idea and do it right.

Review: I was disappointed with the level of detail included in this book. For the various conformation flaws, there was generally only one picuture of the flaw, followed by pictures of the activity(ies) that the horse could or could not perform if he had the flaw. I would have hoped for a more detailed discussion and photos showing various degrees of deviation from ideal.

Review: used a bit more information. The photos that she uses really shows you what she is talking about. I didn't agree with everything that she said but I did like the book overall. The main thing I thought that it needed was more information on what each thing causes a horse to be able to do and not be able to do.
