What a find!!!
This is absolutely the finest resource for locating Horse Schools I have ever seen! The format is easy to read and the extensive cross references make it a breeze to locate a school by subject, course, location or degree level. I had no idea there were so many schools available until now.
A must have for anybody who is serious about a career in the field Horses.
What a book
I gave this book 5 stars. Yes I normally do because I normally have a good idea of what I am looking for and read others reviews. But this book deserved 10 stars it is great. It is organized and full of information. The perfect gift
