| What Makes A Classic Winner by Robert H. Murphy, and Deborah Dean. While coat color genetics in equines has been understood for some time, the powerful and rapidly evolving science of genetics is now shedding light on other aspects of inheritance in horses. The standard for evaluating thoroughbreds in direct female descent, based initially on tracing every winner of the five English classic races back to the earliest recorded mares was developed in the late 19th century. It was popularized by Australian Bruce Lowe, and expanded by later researchers. As it turns out, geneticists have found that mitochondrial DNA, passed from mother to daughter, is a valid method of tracking population changes in all species, including thoroughbreds.
This section offers a brief history of the development of Female Family Numbers in the thoroughbred, and provides an overview of each identified female family, including charts of descent, illustrations, and descriptions of classic winners and notable horses in each family.
Leading Sires is a series of charts providing a chronologic listing of champion sires in various countries, including their sires and dams, family numbers and where they stood at stud.
Over 425 pages in one manual and 325 pages in the 2nd. manual. This is a complete update of Bruce Loew’s “Classic” on breeding. It explains the hows and whys of classic breeding and the importance of St. Simon. You become the expert. Teaches total pedigree analysis.

Basic training of the young horse
Reiner Klimke; translated by Sigrid Young; edited by Jane Kidd
Publisher: London : J.A. Allen, 1985.
ISBN: 0851314082 Notes: Translation of: Grundausbildung des junger Reitpferdes.
Review: One of my favorite finds
Klimke clearly and logically lays out the foundations of basic training. The information is easy to read, concise and shows a deep understanding and respect of the horse. There is much more packed between the covers than I expected. An excellent, excellent read for anyone who works with horses.
Review: This compact, informative and economical guide to starting young horses provides an excellent overview of training the young horse, from early ground work to starting over fences. Although the book is dated, the German scale of basic training principles is timeless and very much en vogue in the dressage community today. Based on sound principles and written by an accomplished horseman, this is one to read.
UPDATE – A year since my original review this has been the book I refer back to most of all, I think because of the handy size. Therefore, this book is well worth the money!!!
