Beautiful pictures
I love this book! I had a version of it growing up and bought it for myself recently when I was feeling nostalgic. It is filled with amazing photos and great information about breeds. It’s a good gift book or a book for people wanting to learn about breeds, I mostly just want to look at the pictures!

Beautiful book
This is a beautiful big book about everything horse! The information is comprehensive and the photos are beautiful. The only thing I noticed that was wrong was in the copy. Maybe it was written with artificial intelligence or did not have a good editor. Sometimes entire paragraphs were repeated almost verbatim. Regardless of the repetitive copy, there is plenty to appreciate it this lovely book.
