WHO IS THE TARGET GROUP FOR THIS BOOK?
This book is as suitable for pros and breeders as it is for beginners and private owners. It is a source of knowledge and comprehensive encyclopaedia covering history, husbandry, breeding, health, etc. I know that many breeders like to buy my book to give to the buyers of their foals to ensure that they have the knowledge they need from the very beginning.
