Showcasing over 95 breeds, this revised volume brings to life breeds such as the Eriksay Pony, the Kathiawari and the American Cream. With double-page biographies and annotated full-figure photographic portraits, the essential characteristics, history and uses of each featured breed are clearly explained. In addition to this compendium of breeds there are chapters on the origin of the equine species, the domestication of the horse and key information on the horse's condition.

Elwyn Hartley Edwards was editor of the magazine 'Riding' for 18 years and then spent five years as a consultant editor for 'Horse and Hound'. He remains a regular contributor to the equestrian press and is author of some 30 books.
The Ultimate Horse Book should be subtitled "the ultimate horse photography book." A brilliantly conceived and executed work, this book has captured in color photos what other horse books have previously illustrated in drawings or descriptive text. What an amazing difference the color photo of a horse's hoof makes in comparisn to the usual line drawing of the various parts of the hoof. In presenting the different breeds, double - page color shots are used and include insets of photos of the same horse to illustrate various parts of the confirmation. What an improvement and how long overdue! Although this book uses the same basic format and informational layout as The Complete Horse Book ( LJ 10/15/91), edited by Elwyn Edwards and Candida Geddes, its illustrations alone are worth the purchase. Recommended for all equine collections. This will be a classic.
