From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-Both novices and knowledgeable enthusiasts will discover a feast for the eyes on each page of this pictorial study. Along with spreads detailing the animal's anatomy, there are two double-page spreads illustrated with full-color photographs of the various breeds, divided into light and heavy horses. Following this overview, the guide briefly focuses on the care and activities of equines today, including grooming, shoeing, racing, jumping, and equipment. A comprehensive index allows for quick access to the striking, clearly labeled illustrations and photos. Whether readers are browsing or searching for specific information, they will enjoy exploring this book. It will be a popular addition to collections in which Juliet Clutton-Brock's Horse (Knopf, 1992) is in demand.
