Product Description
So you think you know horses?
Do you love horses? Whether you live to ride, love to pet, or like to cheer on your favorite at the races, you'll get the inside track on all things equine in this must-read compendium. From breeding and behavior to medical tips and trivia, plus historical and contemporary facts, it's all here to give you more horse sense. 'America's Favorite Vet' Dr. Marty Becker and his wife, Teresa, team up with award-winning writer and horsewoman Audrey Pavia and syndicated columnist Gina Spadafori to answer everything you'd ever want to know about horses--and more!
How long does it take for a baby horse to learn how to stand? What's the difference between a pony and a horse? Why can't a horse just wear a cast on a broken leg? How much horsepower does a horse really have? How do directors get horses to fall down in movies? Do horseshoes really bring good luck? Why do horses walk and poop at the same time? Does a horse know if he has won a race? Is it true horses can't throw up? Are horses good swimmers? Do horses have good memories? While no one will ever be able to fully explain the mutual love, trust, and devotion between humans and horses, this book will bring you one step closer. Giddy up!

Equine Trivia 101 December 18, 2008
This is a fun book that covers questions varying from where the term "Charley Horse" came from, to the size of their brains. Enjoyable reading for the new or experienced horsemen, as well as a great taking off spot for sparking discussion in pony clubs, 4-H, or other equestrian youth groups.
GREAT BOOK! GREAT TRANSACTION! December 12, 2008
MY DAUGHTER LOVES ANIMALS AND ESPECIALLY HORSES! THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR ANY ANIMAL OR HORSE LOVER.
 Why do horses sleep standing up? September 1, 2008
I bought for horse-crazy 6- and 8-year-olds -- who are too young yet to really "read" them -- and mom has scheduled read-aloud time.
An entertaining and informative read March 17, 2008
I've owned or been around horses my entire life, but I still learned things I didn't know about them when I read this book.
Those peculiar behaviors unique to equines -- perhaps always taken for granted as 'one of those things' are brought to light in this thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining book.

I bought this book for a friend's birthday and looked through it before giving it to her and found it very interesting and informative. The questions are questions that the least to the most experienced horseman or women would relate to. The answers are informative and the print is not to small or large. I would recommend this book to everyone.
