Picking the best horse from every angle
It takes a trained eye
to see conformation strengths and weaknesses. And training your eye is what A
Photographic Guide to Conformation is all about.
One horse might have
perfect pasterns but a short neck, another may have a beautiful neck but feet
too small to support its large frame. Some people will say perfect conformation is the best bet for a
winner. Others will say you'll never find perfection no matter how hard
you look. The record books are filled with proof from both sides, so how
do you find the best horse?
The expert commentary and excellent photography in A Photographic Guide to
Conformation cover a
horse's design from nose to tail and withers to hooves. You'll see more
than 300 photos and sketches of both good and bad conformation, as well as
breed-specific features. You'll learn when imperfections are acceptable
and why, and when they'll cause nothing but trouble. A detailed glossary
starts the book, and chapters on movement, color, and breeds finish it
off. It's a valuable reference no matter which breed or discipline you
prefer.
A Photographic Guide to Conformation is one of the best books we've
seen on the subject. We're sure you'll agree it deserves a place in your
reference library.
