A stunningly photographed catalog of the more than 150 horse and pony breeds in the world, this book is a horse-lover’s dream. The book starts with a history of the relationship between humans and horses and explains the variation of size and category of horses. The book separates out horses into Light Horses, Ponies, and Heavy Horses and ends with a section on caring for horses. It is jam-packed with facts and cultural tidbits. There is an extensive glossary, a fantastic table of contents, and an index. The biggest drawback of the book is its size. It is printed in a large format, which could be difficult for little hands, but since this allows for more and larger photographs, this is not really a ding against the book. A wonderful addition to any public or school library collection.
