About this title

About the Author:

New Horizons Equine Education Center has developed a comprehensive home study program that includes more than 40 courses to provide a working knowledge in equine sciences. This dictionary is one of the foundation references for their program.

Review:

A useful reference for horse owners and anyone whose work involves equine vocabulary. This volume includes not only illustrations but a pronunciation guide. It is also easy to use. --Library Journal

The dictionary addresses almost every aspect of the equine industry--shoeing, anatomy, training, equipment, breeding, horse psychology and more. Commonplace terms such as "summer sore" are found right alongside more complex ones--"dermatitis granulosa," for example, which refers the reader also to the summer sore entry. Although few people read a dictionary from cover to cover, most are glad the book is on the library shelf when they have a question. For that reason, the no nonsense Illustrated Dictionary of Equine Terms will become a well-used source of information for the horseman. --Western Horseman

With 304 pages of defined terminology, including pronunciation of terms for anatomy, behavior and training, equipment, medical and genetics, nutrition and much more, the dictionary would make a great ranch reference or a gift for anyone associated with horses. --Cascade Horseman
