This book is the best book that I've read about wild horses so far. I don't think that the authors could have put any of the information clearer. A great book to read for those who are thinking of or already have a wild horse. *Also has information where to obtain a wild horse and a few helpful websites.*

"The Wild Horse, An Adoptor's Manual" is an excellent guide to gentling a wild horse. Step by step procedures are presented in terms a novice can follow. Illustrations and photos provide clear, concise techniques for approaching the horse, what to do in emergencies, how to re-halter and continue on through leading, training and groundwork. All too often adoptors find they do not know what to do, get discouraged if their techniques don't work, feel they have failed and no longer want the horse in which case both adoptor and horse suffer. Potential adoptors should read this book BEFORE adopting. There are tips on choosing a mustang and preparations for penning and housing are carefully detailed. It is a shame that this book is out of print. Every adoptor should receive a copy when adopting a wild horse.

For research on the rat, this is an essential guide. The diagrams are expertly drawn and the text is concise and well written. I highly recommend this book to researchers performing surgery on the rat or for interpretation of tumor pathology.

Apart from who killed Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie, this whodunnit has the best trick on a reader I have ever read. Strangely out of print, the book shows the enormous potential that Helen Eustis had as a writer. I wish she had written more of these enjoyable novels.
