    Having ridden horses for the better part of my life, I knew a few of these fun facts but it was very interesting learning more about the different types of horses, including the various temperaments, uses, size, etc. Also, the photos of the horses were beautiful!

    I would've enjoyed better quality horse photos and perhaps a better overall layout of the e-book. It would've been nice if it was geared toward a younger audience as well.Other than that, there were some interesting horse facts.***I received a free copy of this book, and in exchange, I have provided an honest review.***

    If your child has an interest in horses, this is a pretty good starter book. I would have liked to have seen more pictures, but overall it's a good book with accurate information. It does a good job at telling about different breeds of horses. I received this book from Library Thing in exchange for an honest review.
