For the first-time horse owner, My First Book of Horses guides young equestrians through this very important—and fun—commitment. Beginning with a history of horses and what roles they’ve played throughout history, readers will get a full-color glimpse of horses with knights in full armor, as companions to the Native Americans, in formal dressage competitions, racing, and as a mode of early transportation.

This book then delves into all the need-to-know horse basics, including:

• How to identify all the most popular breeds of horses & Ponies
• How to groom, clean up and step-by-step braiding manes and tails
• The details of horse equipment: saddles, horseshoes, boots, gloves, and helmets
• A full glossary of horse terminology
• 100 color illustrations

Written by Ingrid Andersson, illustrated by Lena Furberg, with photographs by Marie Paulsson-Bertmar
