Customer Rating: 
Summary: A "Must Have" Book!
Comment: this is a must have book with a lot of valuable info.A good read for everyone interested in this field.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Could be better...
Comment: I wasn't impressed with the images or the format of this book. With so many horse books out there you could do better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very disappointed, no in-depth information here
Comment: I just received this book and am so disappointed in it. I saw a few bad reviews, but most of them were glowing reports, many from experienced horse people about the information provided. I wanted a book about horse equipment, tack, care, etc. because I sometimes feel overwhelmed with all the "stuff" out there and what the purpose of using it is.
The day I received this book my farrier had suggested I try a "stud chain" on my horse the next time he is shod (he is a sweet horse but horrible in this one area). Yes, I thought, now I can look up "stud chain" - - but, NO, that is not in this book.
The book has black and white drawings, which are not very clear or detailed. For example, in the section on bridles there are 6 drawings of bridles, but several of them look very much alike, and although they are described there is NO information about why you would use one style instead of another. That is the type of information that I was expecting. If that is what you are looking for, don't buy this book.
