This book is designed for all those who love horses. Tracing the evolution of equines, this guide also explains the difference between horses and ponies, looks at how different breeds evolved or were selectively developed, and examines equine anatomy and behavior. Packed with 250 vivid full-color photographs of more than 100 horse-breeds, it uses a systematic approach from Dorling Kindersley and the Smithsonian Institution to train readers of all experience levels to identify and appreciate the wide variety of horses in the world. A visual identity key helps you recognize different horse breeds, and guides you to the correct entry based on what you see and observe. Each entry combines a concise description with annotated photographs to highlight the main characteristics and distinguishing features of the breed, with details on coloring, country or region of origin, breed history, and how the breed has been used in the human world. A concise glossary provides instant interpretation of equine terms. The clear visuals and distinctive facts are accompanied by expert prose from author Elwyn Hartley Edwards, former editor of Riding magazine and former consulting editor to Horse and Hound . The book is a clear, concise, comprehensive, and indispensable identification guide for beginners and established equine enthusiasts alike.

Nice
Nice book, wasn't exactly what I was expecting but the person I bought it for will love it so it's fine. It's a small book. In my opinion a lot of the horse images look odd to me, like they tried to make them really clear to where they kinda look fake or photoshopped, but it could just be me being picky I guess. Lots of horses and info though.

One of the finest books on Horse identification!!
The book is very thorough. It describes many different horse breeds by their confirmation with photos. It also list where they originated and what the purpose of breeding that type was for. I would have liked the horses heads to have been free of halter , bridle, & mane across their face,for it made it difficult for me to see the differences of the various breeds.
