Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This volume claims to be the most complete compilation of horse breeds ever attempted, including nearly 400 breeds from all over the world. Hendricks has bred and raised several types of horses and has spent over 30 years studying horse breeds. Abandoning the practice of other horse encyclopedias, which attempt to group breeds by function, she simply lists them in alphabetical order. Each breed entry includes information about breed origin and background, size, appearance, chief use, and status (rare vs. common). Most entries include photographs and are of varying length, running from a few paragraphs to several pages. Hendricks obtained this information from breed authorities and organizations, and the appendix includes a complete list of breed associations with addresses. This book should not be compared to Elwyn Hartley Edwards's Encyclopedia of the Horse (LJ 11/15/94) as the latter emphasizes horse evolution and covers far fewer breeds (150). This authoritative effort is highly recommended as an essential purchase for all equine collections and medium to large reference collections.?Deborah Emerson, Monroe Community Coll.

Synopsis
In celebration of the animal that has served us stalwartly for so many generations, Bonnie Hendricks' "International Encyclopedia of Horse Breeds" is a complete compilation of horse breeds. The more than 394 breeds described clearly reflect the natural history of their respective areas of origin. Horse breeds also reflect local human history in the special uses for which they have been bred. Each breed account gives the origin and history, a physical description, and details about the uses of the horse. Some accounts also cover characteristic gaits, colours or markings, forms of keeping, and styles of training. In addition to the basic accounts, Hendricks refers to a number of breeds for which limited information is available and many foundation breeds that are now extinct. Hendricks's book is unique in presenting new information gathered directly from breeders' associations and breed authorities in many countries. Her extensive research has brought to light breeds not included in any similar book, notably more than thirty in China and a dozen in Turkey.The former Soviet Union is represented by more than 60 breed accounts, and even within the United States there are several breeds unfamiliar to many horse enthusiasts. New information is presented on some age-old controversies, such as that regarding the Arab horse and local breeding conditions. The underexposed Canadian horse receives a full treatment. A new proposition is advanced for the derivation of the famous Morgan. All breed and colour registries devoted to the New World heritage of mustangs and other Spanish-American horses are included. Recent blood analyses that identify the genetic markers of particular breeds help illuminate some long-standing mysteries. A full listing of addresses of breed associations and government departments that supplied data and photographs for the encyclopedia enables the reader to contact these bodies themselves. With its breadth of coverage, wealth of new information, and 530 black-and-white and 32 colour illustrations, the encyclopedia is destined to become the standard international reference work on the subject.

Intresting and somewhat overwhelming a great insite into the world of horses.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the best book in my equine library. It it the only book I have found which contains good information about little known breeds, such as the Asturian, Lewitzer, Pinzgauer, and Moyle Horse. Each desciption is well-researched and contains a great deal of information about that breed's origin, conformation, population, and common usage. If you show model horses, it is an invaluable guide for breed assignment; how else would you know that your San Domingo makes a perfect Wielkopolski, or that your standing Thoroughbred Mare is an ideal Cirit horse? The only thing that would make this book better would be color photos, but that would most likely make it prohibitively expensive.

This book has it all...from the common breeds to the extremely rare. Absolutely a must for those that love to research breed origins or just love all breeds of horses. There are many nice photographs in both color and b&w to enjoy. I love this book!
