Overview

This is the only guidebook collecting the official North America breed associations’ standards and conformations, making it a much-needed, handy, and comprehensive reference.  Like the American Kennel Club's The Complete Dog Book (now in its 20th printing), this is the book for horse breeds. For each of 118 North American breeds--from ponies and small horses to pleasure horses, draft horses, and thoroughbred racers--the massive 200,000-word guide provides an official history, detailed conformation ideals, descriptions of gait and distinctive traits, temperament, colors, and variations.  Fine color photographs complete the detailed picture each entry presents.  This guide is destined to become the bible of the horse world.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Lynghaug (Horses of Distinction) deftly profiles 118 breeds, including ponies, small horses, pleasure breeds, draft varieties, and thoroughbreds. The breeds fall into six major categories, including wild varieties. Entries run approximately five pages and include historical details, breed standards, registration requirements, show criteria, and full-color photographs. The historical detail included is extensive and fascinating. Two appendixes offer detailed illustrations of various correct and imperfect body formations and an A-to-Z registry of organizations offering more breed-specific information. In detail and breadth, this volume supplants Judith Dutson's 2005 Storey's Illustrated Guide to 96 Horse Breeds of North America.

    Must-Have Breed Book

    As a person who has a large collection of horse-related books as well as a half-dozen books on horse breeds alone, I have to say that this is one of the best I have come across.

    The information in it comes primarily from the registries who look after the breed they represent and is quite in-depth. There are many breeds in here that you would be hard-pressed to find information on anywhere else. The fact that is was recently published means that the information is up-to-date and includes breeds like the Don, which have only been in the USA for a few short years.

    The photography is excellent and the detail unsurpassed. Most books on horse breeds barely spit out a paragraph on each one, and if you're lucky, perhaps a page. Here you can find pages and pages on most any breed you can think of, so long as they have a registry within the USA. There are some gaps, but that is only due to the breed having no presence here, it more than makes up for its US-oriented scope by the depth of information that it gives!
