Horse Color Explained is a real winner!
I bought the book Horse Color Explained by Jeannette Gower a while ago, and I have to say it is an awesome guide for the novice. It describes and/or explains a wide variety of horse colors and coat patterns, as well as offers many colorful and detailed photographs. Even if you know nothing to begin with, you will be able to understand the details. It will even educate you about genetics, explaining what color can be expected in a foal, given a particular set of parents. The page on horse anatomy was quite helpful, as horse parts do not always correspond to human anatomical terms. It is particularly helpful when buying, selling, or customizing model horses, as it is a guide to understanding the language utilized in describing horse colors. (Yes, there is more to horse color than just brown, white and black!)Read full review...
THE book on horse color.
This is the very best book on horse color. The photographs are numerous and very well done; the text succinct - in short, this book is just about perfect. I have three books on the color of horses - Dr. Green's, Sponenberg/Beaver's and this one - and this is the one I refer to every time. Love it.Read full review...
