Product Description:
From wide-eyed little girls to experienced Thoroughbred owners, few people are immune to horse fever. 1,001 Reasons to Love(tm) Horses, the most recent addition to STC's successful series, revels in the wide variety of equestrian activities and celebrates the timeless bond between humans and horses.
With more than 300 compelling photographs that capture equine beauty and majesty, accompanied by lists, quotations, excerpts, and bits of nostalgia, this all-inclusive compendium explores horses in their myriad manifestations: the rough-and-tumble style of the Western horse and the elegant refinement of the Eastern show ring; horses in the wild and horses in the safety of stable and paddock; horses at rest and horses in motion; mythical creatures and workaday partners; friend of the farmer and companion to the aristocrat. 1,001 Reasons to Love(tm) Horses will be cherished by anyone who rides or attends the races, remembers reading National Velvet or Misty of Chincoteague, was enthralled by Seabiscuit and The Horse Whisperer, or simply is captivated by these lovely creatures. AUTHOR BIO: Sheri Seggerman's passion for horses began when she started riding at the age of eight. Today she is a photographer and writer in Iowa City, Iowa. Her horse is a Percheron cross named Lucy. This is Seggerman's first book. Mary Tiegreen is a designer and writer who has long explored the art of books and bookmaking. She is the creative director of STC's 1,001 Reasons to Love(tm)... series and is the author, with Jana Kolpen, of The Secrets of Pistoulet and Dancing with the Moon (both STC).

I gave this to my 13 yo niece. She loves this book and has a large selection of horse books. She also loves to draw and uses it as a guide.

I loooooove this book! The photographs are beautiful, and the reasons are brilliant, too. Here are some of my favorites: 999 With horses, we face our fears and find our courage. 1 learning the secret language of the horse. 72 Standing asleep, one hind foot hocked. And there are many, many more. If you are hesitating if you want to buy this book or not, don't! If you love horses, you'll love this book! :-)

I absolutely loved this book. It had a reproduction of a print in it of Hambletonian from Early American times which I had been looking for for 20 years; but all the pics were marvelous, no matter which sort of horses one loves; I recommend this book without reservation. (Probably this review is not necessary; I'm sure that others before me have felt as enthusiastic as I, however I was so thrilled to finally find my picture, I had to add my two cents.)

A friend sent me this wonderful book, because he thought I would like it. He was right. The photographs and artwork are varied and blend in well with the topics. As with any book such as this no one topic gets much coverage, but there is a wealth of information contained with in the book.
What struck most was the love and passion the authors have for horses. As I read and reread the book I was amazed at the poer of love and passion that is expressed by blending of the narrative with ... Read More

I thought I knew all the reasons to love horses but Sheri and Mary have catalogued just a few more (1001 to be exact). The appeal of this book is not limited to horse lovers,though. Each page is a work of art. The photographs are captivating. The reasons are compelling. The pages are each pulled together with beautiful illustrations and borders. 1001 Reasons to Love Horses has given me the opportunity to relive many "horsey" memories and a greater appreciation for the history and beauty of the ...
