Interspersed with realistic but kid-friendly art, quick quizzes, humor and cameos of famous equines, ALL ABOUT HORSESis a fun and informative bookf or kids who have horses, or just wish they did.

Terri Farley, Author and Equine Expert

Everything a horse curious kid will want to know, all wrapped up in a fun, easy-to-digest format. Riddles, quizzes, study questions and celebrity horse profiles encourage deeper thought and information retention. Kelly Milner's equine love shines through.

Ellen Hopkins, YA Novelist and horse lover


Dear Kelly Milner Halls,

Hi! I’m Selma and I am 12 years old. You are my favorite author. I love, love your new All About Horses book. I know I was a little too old to read it but it was the only new horse book and so I read it. WOW!! It was the best horse book I have ever read. You really know how to describe horses! I think its great that you had a horse; I think every little girl should have one. This is my beautiful, best friend: Blue. She is a Blue roan. My family raises and sells unusually colored horses. We have Blue roans, whites, red roans, palominos, green roans and the rare purple roan. Thank you for writing that amazing horse book.

PS. I think I was the 1st one to read your book


Jessie (Selma) B.

This slim but thorough book is an ideal choice for kids age 6-9, as designated, but would also serve as an effective introduction for older readers just getting curious and involved with horses. At only eighty pages, including colorful illustrations, interspersed quizzes and jokes and informational tidbits, every reader will come away with a wealth of information about horses as well as a sense of the potential for deep relationships with these noble animals.

Halls provides compact and compelling information on each of the subtitle categories: the history of horses as a species, the variations and functions of different breeds, their needs and the what-and-why-and-how of keeping a horse healthy, and a how-to section on actually mounting and riding a horse. It’s a remarkable array of well-organized content, delivered with lighthearted humor, accurate information, and in digestible portions with fun-sized breaks for humor and interactivity.

This works well as a front-to-back read, or as a dip-and sip source for various aspects of information. The table of contents offers simple chapter titles, and back matter includes a glossary of terms, kid-friendly book and website sources, as well as resources to document reliability of information. Halls has produced a must-have new title for anyone involved with (or hoping to be involved with) horses, while reassuring readers who are unable to do so that there are ways indulge a love of horses through other outlets. This adult reader learned quite a bit, including discovering this new title is an ideal gift for several young friends and relatives.
