A magazine serving the interests of all draft horse breeds and support industries.

The Draft Horse Journal has been highlighting the major shows and sales since 1964. Articles cover harness, working horses, draft horse keeping, draft health issues, and important horses, breeds, and horsepeople. Also important are the advertisements - the DHJ serves as a directory of services and supplies for the draft horse industry. Expect to keep your issues for future reference. Usually around 220-240 pp.

I've read better I found this info very dry and hard to get thru. I much prefer the writings of Lynn Miller (Work Horse Handbook & Training Workhorses / Training Teamsters) who is actually fun to read.

Sets the standard on the subject of Draft Horses Looking for a book that deals with today's draft horse? This is it. The Draft Horse Primer describes today's breeds and the contributions they can and are still making to society. In addition, it deals with care, breeding, harnessing, and non-mechanical (i.e. old-timey) horse-drawn equipment. Lots of pictures illustrate the text. A fun book for the Draft Horse enthusiast and a useful one for those wishing to return to the horse-drawn days of yesteryear.

Great Book about Drafts, Useful for Other Breeds as Well This is an easy to understand handbook. It covers all aspects of owning and maintaining a healthy draft horse: with topics considered ranging from exercise to diet; hoofcare to healthcare. The volume would serve any draft owner well, but would also make a great addition to any farrier's library. I would also highly recommend this book to owner's of other breeds as many of the disease processes, parasites, and lameness issues prove to be, for the most part, non-breed specific.

It may seem like a pricey book but it is worth every penny. It is beautifully illustrated and gives an accurate picture of the role of the modern day draft horse. If you are tired of draft horse books that only look to the past, this book is definitely for you.

They've done it again! Cris Peterson and Alvis Upitis have done it again!! This book combines well-written text with gorgeous pictures. It shows the importance of draft horses in the early 20th century in agriculture in the United States. This should be in every primary classroom to show kids how far we have come in 100 years. Mrs. Peterson writes clearly and in simple language for children to understand tough concepts. --This text refers to the School & Library Binding edition.

I chanced upon this book while browsing for a title to donate to our small-town local library in memoriam for a deceased friend who was very active in old time farming displays with draft horses. (A practice we substitute for funeral flowers) Having grown up on the edge of the Percheron epoch in this country, I bought this book for myself. Upon reading it, I found a comprehensive history of the Percheron Horse that takes up where the previous history of the Percheron Horse leaves off. It's all here, the detailed story of the rise and fall of the glistening blacks, grays and dappled draft horses of yesterday. We find that the old gray mare certainly ain't what she used to be and how that all came about. We travel in time from the massive production of the American Percheron breeding movement in this country to the near extinction of the Association and the movement of their offices from the Chicago Stockyards to a small rural farm in Indiana, where the incubus of the Association survived. Then, the influx of interest in draft horses grew and the breed proliferated to the levels of today. The names which ring famous throughout the history of the breed, not only of the horses, but of the men and women who made the breed here in America are featured along with graphic illustrtions. This book is not only packed with the history of the Percheron horse in America, but is full of pictures from the beginning to the end pages which feature detailed timelines and chronological tables defining the rise, fall, and resurgence of the breed. If you are interested in horses, read this book. It will deepen your understanding of the majesty and dedication of breeding and change forever your ideas of the "old gray mare".
