White Horse is a powerful book that takes the reader on an unparallelled journey between Colorado in 1871 and the present. This metaphoric journey is one of discovery, love of a horse, family bonds, friendship and relationships. It requires the reader to engage, believe and remember some of the experiences we've had and wondered...did they really happen or was that just a dream.

Interesting glimpse into conditions during WWI for horses AND men.

This horse was much larger than expected and arrived in perfect condition.  To a horse lover it makes an excellent gift.

Maybe I am somewhat biased because I hail myself from the Netherlands, but it is a wonderful story about the bond between owner and horse. Animals know when they are taken to the slaughterhouse. I have seen a truck with cows and the cows were just most unhappy and bellowing. Harry de Leyter was a poor Dutch immigrant farmer and even $80.- was a lot of money when he saved that horse from the slaughterhouse.. Then at one point he realizes that this horse is a born jumper and starts training him and slowly he starts winning championships. One also gets to read about how horse racing etc was basically the amusement of the very rich, the conditions at the various set ups, the fancy clothing both of people and horses by that high society. And it shows a slow change as more ordinary people start to attend these horse shows and start rooting for Snowman and his owner, the underdogs.

Appreciate that the horse comes with a book, too. My step daughter was stoked. The horse is standard Breyer quality. Haven't got into the book yet, but it looks engaging.

Originally published in 1923, a rather interesting though small book on various horse myths around the world.  I'm sure this could have been a much bigger book, though the author was taking care to not become overly repetitive.  Many of the stories I had heard previously, but there were many others I hadn't heard of.  I checked out some of the information online, and found it to be good, even now.  Thoroughly enjoyed it!

This is an informative, lavishly illustrated book with dozens of black and white lithographs of trotting horses circa 1820-1900, as well as prints of famous trotters from the same era. The author details the origins of the american trotting horse, discusses the appeal of trotting horses in the victorian era, and tells stories of popular trotting champions, including Lady Suffolk, Hambletonian, Flora Temple, Dexter, and others. I highly recommend this book to those who have an interest in trotting races in general, and also to those who simply enjoy seeing the slice of life the book provides through its impressive pictoral gallery.

I enjoyed the book but am curious as to whether or not some of the historical aspects, particular regarding horses and archeology are true.

For someone who likes horses and breed them this is a very interesting book although it should not be so long. The Lipizzaners and the arabians are two  magnificent breeds, specially the arabians which are reputed to have had a very strong influence in most of the other breeds existing now a days. The racconto of the life of Colonel Alois Podhaskji is very interesting since he is without discussion the person who saved the Lipizzaners from extintion. Furthermore, I was not aware of the role played by the US Army Cavalry in the rescue of this breed. Alltogether a very interesting book.

You have to pay attention to the time of year, I think.  Originally the hay came in nice and green, but as the months went by it started coming in yellow and brittle and the animals wouldn't eat it.

I really liked how the author included the dialog of the horses in the story, and the illustrations of the horses were beautiful. At the end of the story is a brief history of how Justin Morgan got his name as well as how his ancestry can be traced back to 1789.

I really liked Justin Morgan and the Big Horse Race by Ellen F. Feld, not only because I love horses but also because the story was interesting and the pictures were beautiful to look at. I would recommend Justin Morgan and the Big Horse Race to kids who love a wonderful story about horses.

Great description of the plight and rescue of wild horses from White Sands Missile area, and the challenges of terrain, bureaucracy, and human emotions. Surely most people must desire the continued existence of the wild horse in America, but for-profit land users, including some illegal, remain an obstacle to this goal.

As a precursor to this project, Hoglund's experience with horse training programs that allowed inmates to develop skills was also of interest.

Nice job of sharing re-education or a complete restart ala Rashid style of his own personal horses. I really liked the emphasis on starting with a healthy horse--equine dentist, farrier, body work, chiropractor, all play a role as the horse is made as comfortable as possible before beginning trading, which in turn not only makes for a more engaged and willing partner, but also allows training deficits to stand out so they can be directly addressed.

I have loved horses since I was a child, especially American Quarterhorses. The pictures in this book are beautiful. I like the variety of shots showing horses in motion and even the people in the pictures were OK, though I like horses by themselves better. This book is a great resource for writing about horses because it gives lots of information about the different breeds included in the book. If I were a photographer I would take pictures of horses, too.
