04/01/2017
This update to the original 2000 edition contains more than 1,700 entries—as well as photos and drawings of running, jumping, and gamboling horses, equipment, and anatomy—on just about every page. The shortest entries are a single sentence, and most are between a paragraph and a page or more in length. Haas writes horse-themed fiction for young readers and has a pleasing and direct style in this nonfiction endeavor. She covers English and Western riding, the history of the horse, some basic equine medical issues, training terminology, and details about horse breeds and coloration. VERDICT An ideal addition for any children's or adult reference section.
