[Anna Catherman · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite good and readable---for a horse bowl/hippology resource, that is. A lot of information, but in a fairly digestible resource and one that's quite suitable for reading straight through, as well as keeping as a reference. A great way to get started with my studying for nationals!
