Editorial Reviews

Review

"I believe this book provides a great overview of owning a horse. Although I have been around horses for over 21 years, I still learned some new facts and understanding of horses."

"I like the first edition of the book that I am currently using, and have already developed teaching and supporting materials."

Excellent In-depth Equine Information
My daughter competes in knowledge-based equine competitions. Her 4-H equine IQ leader recommended this textbook for studying to her group. It is well-organized, providing great attention to details. For example, she likes the tables of information, such as types of poisonous plants or drugs used to treat internal parasites. At the end of every chapter, there is a review or summary page. Her favorite part is the Critical Thinking/Discussion section, where she has to apply what she has read in an essay type question. If you are interested in horse ownership, hippology (equine IQ), or equine veterinary science, then you will enjoy this book.

    If you are looking to save some money and need the textbook for class, this will suffice. It is not printed in the United States and lacks the color photos. However, I brought it to my professor and they were surprised and said it would work for class.

    Usually when I rent textbooks I keep the packaging to send it back in and it always works fine. For this one in order to open it you had to toally pull a tab back and like splitting it apart making keeping packaging annoying and difficult. Textbook arrived in great condition though.

    Great! But it has some mistakes. There should be more species listed on the evolutionary path of the horse. They only show 4.
    It has nice diagrams for basic horse anatomy and plenty of charts for breeds and their characteristics.
