The romance and mystique connected with the image of the Arabian horse are familiar to all… be they serious horse owners, readers fo Arabian „coffee table“ books, or casual viewers of 1930s late night movies. The Arabian: A Guide for Wwners touches on but does not expand the romantic theme; rather, author Sharon Byford aimed at the practical aspects of the Arabian – and scored a direct hit.

Subjects of necessary interest to the aspiring breeder or the backyard owner are comprehensively addressed and discussed in detail, enhanced with teaching photographs and specific quotations by leading authorities. From learning how to choose that first Arabian through to a philosophical final chapter on the future of the breed, the subjects in between deal with breeding, pedigrees, hoof care, grooming, showing, genetics, halter training, stable management, parasite control, the mare, the stallion, raising the foal, and much more.

Clear, concise, readable writing and photographs that invite the reader to linger and appreciate the innate beauty of this ancient breed combine to answer the most basic and most complex questions of novice and experienced horseperson alike – questions no other book has attempted to answer.
