I wasn't impressed with the images or the format of this book. With so many horse books out there you could do better.

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 subsequent 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 grey 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.

It was very helpful and helped in answering the usual questions that you might be too embarrassed to ask =D It also was good because it had many pictures that aided as well.

I just received this book. I find it quite outdated. The drawings and illustrations are poorly done. There are only a few grey and white pictures. Just beware that this is a 1998 book and I am sure you can find a more updated horse book than this one.
