About this title:

Synopsis:

This is the only guidebook collecting the official North America breed associations’ standards and conformations, making it a much-needed, handy, and comprehensive reference. Like the American Kennel Club's The Complete Dog Book (now in its 20th printing), this is the book for horse breeds. For each of 118 North American breeds--from ponies and small horses to pleasure horses, draft horses, and thoroughbred racers--the massive 200,000-word guide provides an official history, detailed conformation ideals, descriptions of gait and distinctive traits, temperament, colors, and variations. Fine color photographs complete the detailed picture each entry presents. This guide is destined to become the bible of the horse world.

From the Back Cover:

Now horse lovers only need one book!

From Arabians to Shetland Ponies, Thoroughbreds to Gypsy Vanners, and all the many breeds in between, there is now one source for all breed standards. This essential guidebook collects for the first time ever the standards supplied by the true experts—the official breed associations. Breed histories, conformation ideals, characteristics, temperaments, colors and variations guidelines all help you choose the horse that’s right for you.

Includes More Than 118 Breeds of Pleasure, Gaited, Warmblood, Draft, and Wild Horses and Ponies
