Bookworm Sez " "Does the sound of snorting make your soul soar? Does the beat of racing hooves make your heart race? Then the 'Complete Horse' is for you. My only complaint with this book was not with the content, but with the way it's made. Many of the sidebars are printed on a plaid horse-blanket-type background, which sometimes made the words hard to read. Bring a magnifying glass if you think you'll have problems; the info is too good to miss."
