Originally published in 1993, The Kids' Horse Book is part reference book and part activity book. Full of detailed illustrations and evocative photographs, this ultimate guide to everything "horsey" brims with information on breeds, grooming, riding techniques and horse communication, plus captivating stories and amazing facts. The entertaining format encourages browsing or reading from cover to cover. One spread is a history lesson, the next, a horse board game.

"One of the best short introductions to horses and riding ... It offers an engaging and eclectic overview that will no doubt lead to further reading, and its participatory approach to learning about horses will be enjoyed by parent and child alike. " -Canadian Materials
