Автор:Fran Lynghaug Год: 2009 Издание:Voyageur Press Страниц: 372 ISBN: 0760334994 This is the only guidebook collecting the official North America breed associations’ standards and conformations, making it a much-needed, handy, and comprehensive reference. Like the American Kennel Club's The Complete Dog Book (now in its 20th printing), this is the 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 massive 200,000-word guide provides an official history, detailed conformation ideals, descriptions of gait and distinctive traits, temperament, colors, and variations. Fine color photographs complete the detailed picture each entry presents. This guide is destined to become the bible of the horse world.
