Average Rating: A

Description: The Whole Horse Catalog is the result of a collaboration between writers and editors Steven D. Price, Barbara Burn, Gail Rentsch, and David A. Spector. Each chose to manage particular sections of the book, focusing on their areas of expertise. The finished product is an all-around horse reference full of information every horse owner should know. Hundreds of black and white illustrations, contributed by Werner Rentsch, and photographs bring additional meaning to the text. First published in 1977 by Brigadore Press, Inc., the Catalog was revised and updated in 1998 to cover everything from recent advances in equine nutrition to top sources on the World Wide Web.

Allie (from Leadmare):
I got my copy for $20 from the AQHA gift shop, but you'll probably be able to find the same book for less online. (Just be sure you're dealing with a reputable company.) After reading it cover-to-cover at home, I found it to be well worth the money and would highly recommend it to every horse owner or anyone just looking to learn more about horses. It's very complete but never gets bogged down — it stays clear and concise throughout the entire book. The combined efforts of four different people makes the Catalog all the more interesting, and the different writing styles blend seamlessly. It fits so well together you'd think it was written by only one person!
