Summary: Comprehensive guide on colors, dominant and recessive traits
Review: This book is a breeder's "bible" , and is one I would recommend for everyone, regardless of the size of the reader's breeding operation. The book gives readable and understandable information on the consequences of breeding individual animals for specific color and conformation traits. It provides valuable information on the dominance of specific traits and the likelihood of those traits being inherited by offspring.

Summary: DO NOT BUY
Review: This book is way out of date and contains misinformation. It is worse than useless.I bought it here a few months ago and regret it.

Summary: Was a great reference, but getting outdated
Review: While this book was the "breeder's Bible" when it was first published 25 years ago, the fact is that genetics, especially equine genetics, has progressed by leaps and bounds since then. Many things we thought to be true then are no longer so. I think this is a great book to have in your library; some things about it are timeless. However, if you're looking to answer specific genetic questions (For example, "How do I get an Overo?"), then you may end up with wrong information. Anyone using it to answer these questions would do well to double-check it with another, more recent textbook, such as "The Genetics of the Horse."
