One of the best breed books in a long time and the only one fully covering all aspects of the Arabian, Morgan and Morab breeds. It includes an in depth history regarding the origin and development of the Arabian. It also exposes some of the story-book myths about the origins, pedigree and even the size of the Justin Morgan horse and shows how the Morab has been an integral part of the American horse experience from the founding of the nation. It also nicely covers all sports and recreational activities these breeds are involved in and tells you how to get involved. It also explains conformation and function of these breeds along with breeding for colors and performance, responsible breeding, health, genetic issues, and a helpful list of plants that are toxic to horses.

Pros: great information, many good photos, interesting

Cons: interior is black and white
