(4) 4-6 Kingfisher Riding Club series. Photographs by Bob Langrish. An introduction on colors, markings, and types of horses is followed by brief paragraphs on different breeds worldwide, including a bit about each breed's background and a horse photo with points of conformation highlighted. The design is so dense it's hard to match caption with photo sometimes, and the vocabulary is limited, but horse lovers will appreciate the wealth of information. Glos., ind.
