The Ultimate Encyclopedia of
Horse Breeds & Horse Care
by Judith Draper
Unlike the "Ultimate Horse Book" (Elwyn Hartley Edwards) in which text is mostly complimentary to the photo and limited in facts; this books' breed profile pages are choc full of facts, breed description info, and history. The editors have done their homework and research here.
This book is an excellent all-encompassing guide for the horselover.
