Why do horses end up the colors they do? The answer to this question lies in genetics, but often horse breeders don't explore the probabilities of coat color and markings before breeding because the science of genetics sounds too complicated. Now this handy guide explains the principles of color inheritance simply and practically so all breeders can make informed decisions. With 144 pages and 184 color photographs / explanatory diagrams / charts supported by a detailed summary of information in the appendix, glossary, and index, Horse Color Explained is sure to be referred to again and again. Jeanette Gower is an authority on color genetics with over 25 years of practical experience, a respected judge, and an equine studies lecturer.

An essential manual for owners, breeders, and veterinarians of Miniature horses. Through years of selective breeding, Miniature horses have developed into true scaled-down versions of full-sized horses. However, despite the similarity in appearance to their larger relatives, with respect to veterinary care, Miniature horses cannot be viewed simply as smaller patients. The rate of occurrence, diagnosis, and treatment of many diseases are affected by their size and unique physiological and metabolic demands. The error of treating Miniatures in the same manner as their full-sized counterparts often has undesirable consequences. Unfortunately, this misconception regarding the medical treatment of Miniatures is not limited to owners and breeders; some veterinarians unfamiliar with the breed often make the same mistake. This book provides all the information needed to safely and appropriately treat Miniatures. All the systems of the horse are covered with special attention given to Miniature-specific problems and concerns such as hoof diseases abnormalities of growth liver dysfunction dental irregularities dwarfism reproduction nutrition. The 163 page manual is made complete with appendices offering normal physical parameters, clinical signs of disease, and resources for Miniature horse owners. It is illustrated throughout with color photos and diagrams.
