Horse and Pony Breeds by Sandy Ransford
The many different breeds of horses and ponies that exist have evolved over generations. Their development has been affected by climate, environment and lifestyle, as well as how they are used - whether as workhorses or to ride for pleasure. This book should help the young horse enthusiast to recognize and identify accurately the different breeds. Each horse or pony is photographed and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the history of the breed, as well the particular characteristics, colours and markings that distinguish that breed from any other.

He lives in the centre of horse country in the Cotswolds, England.
