I picked up this amazing book at Barnes and Noble on sale. The photography is beyond stunning and captures the disposition and beauty of each different breed. Pickeral has thoroughly done her research and has gone beyond the scope of many equine dictionaries. This book contains pages that are dedicated to breeds both rare and common that are not found in most horse breed books. I have never before heard of the Kazakh horses of Kazakhstan or the Sorraia of Spain. Through books I have been introduced to the horses of America and Europe but the horses from Asia always seemed to be neglected. I am very pleased with the information this book contains about horses from India, Kazakhstan, Russia. My only disappointment is that it did not include information on the native breeds of Japan.
