More About This Book

Overview

Horse enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels are fascinated by the history, characteristics, and abilities of various breeds. Unfortunately, most current breed books are written for European readers and feature horses that are rare or nonexistent in North America. A truly complete book on all the special horses of North America has never been available—until now. Here is the most comprehensive guide, featuring in-depth profiles and photographs, to 96 breeds that call North America home.

Readers will find homegrown favorites, such as the Morgan, Appaloosa, and Quarter Horse, along with the less-known Nakota, McCurdy Plantation, and Florida Cracker horses. They’ll also meet the imported breeds that have influenced native bloodlines and become part of the fabric of our history, such as the Thoroughbred, Arabian, and Percheron, as well as more exotic introductions such as the Mangalarga Marchador and the Selle Français. Covering color breeds, light horses, heavy horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules, author Judith Dutson offers fascinating insight into the purpose each was bred for and where it is now found in North America.

More than seven million horses inhabit North America today, with purposes ranging from racing to pleasure, farm and ranch work, shows, search and rescue, and police work. Every region has its breed(s) and every breed has its story — and its fans. This book speaks to all of them, and presents the incredible history of the horse in North America, breed by breed.

    Highly Recommended

    I love this book. It has everything (well, almost everything) you need to know about any kind of breed. I plan on using this book for when I'm ready to get a horse of my own, and even when I'm ready to start in a mixed animal vet clinic. This book is awesome!!

    Loved it so much we're buying one for my daughter as a holiday gift

    My 7 year old took this book out from the library and devoured it -- she spent hour upon hour sifting through its pages on various breeds, determining which type of horse she might want when she gets older. The lovely pictures and condensed yet useful descriptions drove her to read much longer than she otherwise might have.

    Great Overview of Breeds and horse history

    This was a comprehensive yet condensed decription of these breeds. The beginning of the book covers history of the horse as well as how they got to North America. Great book to overview horse breeds for anyone interested in horses. Beautiful pictures-would make great coffee table book. My teenage daughter loves this book as do I!
