I have been around horses and done all kinds of riding disciplines for years, so when I downloaded this book I thought the quizzes would be a cinch. I waited until a bunch of my horsey-friends were sitting around my coffee table before I put this ebook up on the big screen. We all thought this would be easy, as we all know a ton about horses. Not so. We ALL scored really low. We were amazed at how little we knew about a lot of these breeds! Some of them were easy to guess just by looks (won't tell you which because it would ruin the surprise, but think about the breed that was developed by the tribe that refined the Appaloosa!). On the other hand some of them are way out there in terms of where they live and how often you see them in the horse world. Our circle of quiz players included hunter/jumpers, eventers, dressage riders, ropers, barrel racers, and even a foxhunter. We got schooled! We also learned a ton of interesting and historical information about horses that I don't think any of us had ever seen in any other book. Pretty amazing research gathered into a fun quiz book. Definitely recommended for horse lovers, especially if you think you know breeds! Good luck... you might know less than you think, but you will learn a lot!
