I love the concept and format of the book, but it could be so much better.As another reviewer noted, the photos do very little to help a reader evaluate the various conformational aspects/faults in actual horses. Each page usually has just one small photo of a "naked" horse with the conformation described, and a bunch of small action shots of horses at work under saddle or in harness. I would have much preferred four or five good shots of different types of horses clearly demonstrating the conformation in question.The writing is informative, but a bit sparse and clinical.I'm giving it two stars rather than three because of the hefty price tag of $39.95. It's a beautiful book, but all in all disappointing.
