I've loved horses since before I can remember. As soon as I could
read, I devoured every horse book I could find. I'm now married
with two children, and haven't outgrown either my love for horses
or books--especially books about horses. When I discovered Usborne
Books, the first thing I did was check out what was available in
my favorite subject. I was delighted to find that the clever people
at Usborne know we horse-people love to read about our favorite
subject! Here are some of my favorite Usborne horse books.
Dictionary
of Horses and Ponies is an essential and comprehensive guide to
all aspects of horses and ponies. It is of immense value to beginners
and experienced riders alike. Includes fascinating information on
the evolution of horses, their anatomy and body language, different
breeds and the various kinds of riding, competitions and uses to
which horses are put. Contains a wealth of practical, reliable advice
and superb full-color photographs and illustrations.
Grooming
& Stable Management is a guide to help manage the day-to-day
care of horses and ponies, whether they live out at grass or in
a stable. This book offers lots of advice to keep them well-behaved,
healthy and happy.
Also
available is a Horses and Ponies Kid Kit. Learn about different
horse breeds in this informative kit. The rubber stamps provided
can be used to decorate school papers and make greeting cards.
Includes: Stallion, Show Jumper and Mare with Foal stamps with hand-cut
wood handles, stamp pad with washable, nontoxic black ink.
One
of many fiction titles offered is Midnight Horse. The back cover
reads, "Riding at the Hawthorn House trials is all that Kate
has dreamed of and this year she's in with a real chance of winning.
As she works hard to prepare for the day, it seems nothing will
distract her from her goal. But then the mysterious midnight horse
rides into Kate's life, and suddenly everything changes. This is
the fourth book in a series which follows the day to day drama and
exciting adventures of the children and horses of Sandy Lane Stables."

selections Usborne Books offers, visit my website at: http://www.ubah.com/L1216

all you horse lovers out there!
