A very comprehensive book, with about 500 pages and tons of information. The definitions are a little short, but they get to the point and when more information is needed it can usually be found. After only a few minutes with the book, i found that everything is cross-referenced and easy to find. I had picked this up as an impulse buy, but don’t regret it in the least. The articles are very unbiased. This book is perfect for both the new rider and experienced horse owner.

This is the best reference horse book i’ve ever seen. The detail is in every page. I would say this is the only horse reference book you would ever need. Worth Every Penny Spent!

Horse lovers and owners should have the Horse-Lover’s Encyclopedia as a home mainstay, while public libraries located anywhere near a rural area should have the Horse-Lover’s Encyclopedia on their reference shelf. This is a comprehensive, A to Z encyclopedia of horses, from breeds and horse care to stable lore, and provides all kinds of details on everything from caring for hooves to performance and rodeo competition training. Small photos and diagrams throughout make for an excellent, basic handbook on the horse.

This is a very comprehensive encyclopedia, covering much more than merely equine terminology. The book is filled with information on topics such as equine care and handling, ailments/symptoms and how to address them, equine nutrition, plants that are poisonous to horses, horse anatomy, aspects of showmanship, how to choose an instructor and much much more — topics too extensive to mention all of them here. You can’t go wrong with this book.
