This book contains a splendid selection of large full colour photos of horses, by several different photographers. I particularly like that draught breeds are given equal prominence with saddle breeds. The information with each photo is concise and gets across the information well. As the breeder of a Suffolk Punch says of her foal, this breed is rarer than the panda.
Many of the uses to which horses have been and are being put, are described. If there is a lack, I'd say it is that no photos of children on ponies are shown (apart from a special needs mount); we do see some ponies, and I suppose there are plenty of pony books for kids. However, the lack may make the book a little less approachable for children. The editor seems to have focused on a book for adults and looked worldwide.
Horse lovers like me who don't have a horse right now, could probably live in this book.
