Hermsen organized horse breeds by origin, which really helped as I was preparing for a trip to Irish horse country. Included are some signals for adverse behaviors, which I hope in a next edition will be expanded. With a grandfather who kept and trained horses, and a father who used draft animals for farming, I learned a lot from this volume.

Stručně shrnuje základní informace o různých plemenech, disciplínách, ustájení a podobných věcech. Vhodná pro amatéry, kteří se potřebují zběžně orientovat v problematice koní. Knize bych vytkla pouze to, že je zaměřená především na westernové jezdectví, disciplíny anglického jezdectví, jako english pleasure, jsou tak rozebrány pouze v jednom odstavci. Ocenila bych hlubší rozbor a srovnání těchto dvou zcela odlišných způsobů ježdění.
