This book, geared for children, is an excellent overview of the horse and pony breeds of the world. The breeds are presented on half of a page with a paragraph of commentary, captioned side body and a full color photograph that points out the major differences in the breed's confirmation. Arabians and Thoroughbreds each get a full page because so many breeds are descended from them.

From the Swedish Warmblood and the Irish Connemara to the pure-bred Arabian stallion and American Saddlebred, from the Lipizzaner and Mustang to the Welsh pony, this book gives children a wonderful insight into the breeds of ponies and horses throughout the world. An extensive glossary and index add to the reading enjoyment.
