The Equine Dictionary

Maria Ann Belknap.

Hardback, second hand.

Have you ever wondered what a pair of "blinkers" or a "kidney link" is used for? Or how a horse could be "coon-footed" or "wall-eyed"? Or why you wouldn't want a "hat rack" in your barn? Or what is the Azteca breed? The answers to these questions and thousands more can be found in this indispensable new reference book. Horsewords: The Equine Dictionary should be on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in horses - English or Western riders, trainers, breeders, racing fans, or simply enthusiasts. It clearly explains the meanings of 8,000 horse-related words - many in common use and some antiquated - which makes it not only an invaluable modern reference but also an outstanding research aid. It also clarifies many commonly encountered veterinary terms.
