<DIV><DIV> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 4.5pt">This is the only guidebook collecting the official North America breed associations&rsquo; standards and conformations, making it a much-needed, handy, and comprehensive reference.&nbsp; Like the American Kennel Club's The Complete Dog Book (now in its 20th printing), this is <u>the</u> book for horse breeds. For each of 118 North American breeds--from ponies and small horses to pleasure horses, draft horses, and thoroughbred racers--the&nbsp;massive 200,000-word&nbsp;guide provides an official history, detailed conformation ideals, descriptions of gait and distinctive traits, temperament, colors, and variations.&nbsp; Fine color photographs complete the detailed picture each entry presents.&nbsp; This guide is destined to become the bible of the horse world.</p> </DIV>
