I must admit that I had a hard time spending this much on a book but once it arrived I was simply amazed at how much information it contained. It covers everything from the History of the Horse to Stable Management and beyond. Every Hippology team and Horse owner should have access to this text. It doesn't matter if you are just getting into Horses or are a seasoned veteran in my estimation this book is a must have.
The only reason I could part with this book is because we don't have horses anymore. Actually used by those studying to be a vet, this book covers anything you could need to know about your horse, from how to describe the horses marking and coloration to genetics and foaling - all in easy-for-the-layman-to-understand writing. Probably the best book on horses I've ever read ... and I've been studying the wonderful beasts for over 40 yrs.

This is a required text for 4-H Hippology and Horse Bowl, and once you look at it you can see why. It is a great book, jam packed full of information. By the way, if they use it in pre-vet med programs across the country (college text book) -- it's got to be good, right?
