Review by Mary Chris Foxworthy, writer and editor for Equine Heritage Institute Standardbred Sport Horses by Kathleen H Kirsan, is an expertly researched and superbly written book about the importance of the Standardbred in the breeding of top sport horses. As a research writer for the Equine Heritage Institute, I truly appreciate the vast amounts of information and the unraveling of facts that are in the book. As Kathleen aptly points out, Americans have become out of touch with our own equine history and resources. Most riders look to warmbloods for their sport horse mounts not realizing that the ability to achieve in sport came not from the warmblood breed base but the addition of true sport elements into the breed--the English, Irish and American sport breeds.Her genetic research and historical references provide proof that the Standardbred is a 'versatile and exemplary sport resource'. Before looking for your next sport horse, be sure to read this book.
