Fran Lynghaug is an experienced horse breeder and trainer--she was even Miss Minnesota Pinto Horse Queen of 1969. Lynghaug lives in Downing, Wisconsin.
Ever wonder how many equine breeds are found in North America and
what they should look like? The Official Horse Breeds Standards
Guide (2009) by Fran Lynghaug is the definitive authority on this
subject, containing descriptions, histories, and official standards
of what each horse and pony breed should be, as presented by their
registry. The book accurately portrays more than 118 breeds of
horses and ponies with over 400 full color photos, plus some little
known facts and breed insights. - Mid-South Horse Review, February
2010
Lynghaug (Horses of Distinction) deftly profiles 118 breeds,
including ponies, small horses, pleasure breeds, draft varieties,
and thoroughbreds. The breeds fall into six major categories,
including wild varieties. Entries run approximately five pages and
include historical details, breed standards, registration
requirements, show criteria, and full-color photographs. The
historical detail included is extensive and fascinating. Two
appendixes offer detailed illustrations of various correct and
imperfect body formations and an A-to-Z registry of organizations
offering more breed-specific information. In detail and breadth,
this volume supplants Judith Dutson's 2005 Storey's Illustrated
Guide to 96 Horse Breeds of North America. - Library JournalFine
color photographs complete the detailed picture each entry
presents. This guide is destined to become the bible of the horse
world. A beautiful 672 page hardbound book. - Just Horses This book
is really good! It's like the bible for horse breeds -- so many
breeds are included. The photos are phenomenal. It would take a
couple hours just to look at them all. There's so much info. -
