An introduction to different types of pony breeds and where they live in the wild.

Short, sweet, simple beginning reader for horse lovers with great photographs.

These are cute and a good distraction even if I read them in just a couple minutes. I like the photos.

[Jillian]

Lots of great pictures, but not a whole lot of content - skims quickly over habitat, coloring, and eating habits.

Horse-loving beginning readers will just eat this one up. Gorgeous photography, and the shot of the baby Shetland is cute enough to make you die.
