This clever and pleasing guide contains a wealth of information on horses, including history, breeds, care and grooming, equipment, riding, and shows. Facts and tips are presented in an imaginative and lively format.

This volume also offers amazing tactile and visual elements that include a small flip book showing a horse's gaits, an English saddle whose flaps and stirrup leathers move, and several foldouts such as one that lists the major breeds around the world. Readers can look through a Dutch door to check out the interior of a stable and get detailed directions on mucking out a stall.

There are lots of these surprises, including an envelope that contains a certificate awarding membership in the Horse and Pony Lovers' Club.
