1 comments about Horse Packing: A Manual of Pack Transportation.

1. Horse Packing is an illuminating view into the practice of using horses to pull wagons. Since this is one of the oldest forms of transportation, it is also one of the most important, and this book is a great way to learn about it in greater detail.

3 comments about Horses (Cube Books).

1. Cube books; small books compiled of lots of wonderful images by a variety of well known photographers. With 725 pages in "Horses" the fun never ends. Examples of the chapter layout includes Horses in the Wild, Life on the Ranch, Children and Horses, Equestrian Sports, etc. See a vast array of perspectives as you take a ride into the horse world.



2. Gorgeous photography of stunning horses in all aspects of their lives. I LOVE this book and have looked at it over and over again. I'm going to buy this for my horse loving friend as a gift, I know she'll love it as much as I do!



3. There is some outstanding equine photography by some of the world's most renowed equine photographers in this book, but do not rely on the text and commentary as a source of fact. Many inaccuracies (perhaps something was lost in the translation from Italian to English), that the editors should have caught: pinto horses mistakenly referred to as Arabians, a photo of an (obvious) adult horse described as a "foal", Paint stock-type horses annoyingly referred to as "pintos", an obvious leopard-spot appaloosa whose pattern is described as "marble."
   
   Nice book to look at and browse through, though. Would make a nice gift for the young horselover who enjoys looking at horses.

1. I have read this book over a dozen times. It is priceless . If you work on a farm ranch or just have stock such as cows, horses or just raise Lamas this book is a must have. I train exotic animals world wide for a living. This book has come in handy in Africa as well as Thailand . It helps you learn to improvise when making tack or fixing fences or just throwing together some rigging. It covers the basics and advanced knots for making halters,tying horses or just splicing a rope. I have used it for training camels believe it or not. The various diagrams on laying a horse down have all but been forgotten. If you are a down to earth scavenger like myself you will love this book . It will pay for itself over and over.

2. The book was introduced to me by a next door neighbor. I found that once i picked it up i couldnt set it down. I was amazed at the endless ideas in this wonderful book. As a horseman myself im always looking for ways to make new stuff, and fix old stuff. To my suprise i had most of the stuff on hand, and having a machines shop at my home i spent more time in the shop. My neighbor and myself have built most of the farm yard ideas, and its fun to look around and see the improvments. I recomend this book for anyone who is a do it yourselfer, or just a cowboy at heart. Ive had fun with it and i hope you do too...



3. This is a collection of Randy Steffen's best horse owner's tips from his 40 years of tips in The Western Horseman magazine.

   Each tip is described and illustrated in a very clear and concise way.

   The book is organized by sections (trailers, tack room, training, etc). It's very easy to find neat ideas for any area of horsemanship (whether you are a cowboy or dressage enthusiast).

   Terrific book.




4. If you have horses or a farm of any kind, you NEED this book! Very entertaining, and lots of invaluable hints!

2 comments about Horse Breeds of North America.

1. Similar-sounding books usually have large-size formats and coffee table-like hardcover weight: the joy of Horse Breeds of North America is that it offers up an affordable, easy 96-page photo display in pocket size lending to toting. This means you can take it along on a car ride, trip, or anyplace else a horse might show up. Quick sidebars provide height, description, history, and suitability for potential owners.

2. The cover of the book says 96 at a glance profiles, but there are 204 pages, and more than 96 profiles.This is a interesting little book printed on high quality paper with a lot on information for each breed , very easily understood, and read, with some very beautiful horses and pictures, also, very informative.
