4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, 11 Mar 2010

Chez "Biovet" (Midlands, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Conformation (Hardcover)

This book is really helpful for beginners in horse conformation. When I started reading it I was totally clueless about equine conformation, this book has given me the ability to recognise good conformation and conformation defects across a wide range of breeds. I highly reccomend it!

3.0 out of 5 stars This book lacked detailed information to accompany the photo, 15 Mar 1999

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Conformation (Hardcover)

This book showed several good examples of each conformation fault disscussed. The written descriptions accompanying the photos fell short. This book would make a good photo reference guide for an experienced horseperson. The lack of detailed descriptions describing common conformation faults would not help the novice.

3.0 out of 5 stars In agreement with the review from Vermont, 24 July 2001

By White Mountains - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Conformation (Hardcover)

Being a somewhat beginner in the horse world, I was looking for a book that would help me in the purchase of a horse, and understand the issues of conformation. Some of the lingo used in this book is not American English, but European English, which is lost on me. The photographs are wonderful, but the descriptions - as said above - do fall short.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Understand, 16 Nov 2009

By B. Wanless "trailridingtodressage" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: A Photographic Guide to Conformation (Hardcover)

I had to get this book for my conformation class, and I was really worried about this class. This book is so easy to follow and understand. There is a glossary in the front. And as the title says, there are photos for all the conformation things.

If wanting to learn about conformation, this is one of the books I would say is a must!
