Product Description
Equine Color Genetics, Third Edition, presents the most recent advances in color genetics for breeders of horses, donkeys, and mules. The book provides valuable information that enables breeders to tailor their breeding programs to maximize desired color outcomes and minimize undesired color. The text bridges the gap between the scientific and lay communities without ignoring the intricate and complex issues involved in horse and donkey color genetics. This new edition presents more explicit and detailed explanations than were previously possible, including a more extensive Appaloosa section. The section on donkey colors includes the results of studies in the genetic control of color in this species, which will greatly assist donkey breeders as they tailor breeding programs to their own goals.

This is an excellent text book but I was disappointed when I purchased the 3rd Edition and it didn't have much more content for the high price of the new edition. If you already have one of these books then save your money and wait for later editions as advancement in color genetics information is crazy right now. If you're looking to buy this book for the first time I'd look for the 2nd Edition at a better price.
Excellent Information January 15, 2009

good- but not worth the price February 18, 2008

I found this book to be very useful, but definitly not $60 worth useful. In all honesty, I have found more information in my 'Equine Genetics & Selection Procedures', which is roughly five times the girth and I managed to nab that for $8. While this book is more up-to-date, and the pictures were extensive in what they covered, it just doesn't have enough to warrant the cost. Maybe if there were more pictures (there's only one chapter of photos) or they were larger (there's three per page), or if the actual probablility of the color (Punnet Square) were covered more fully.... but it's not worth $60 as is. I consider it to be a waste of my money.

This is an excellent book for those that are interested in coat color genetics for horses, and donkeys. It is a great book to follow up on after reading Sponenberg's first book "Horse Color", which I recomend reading if your new horses or genetics.
This book presents genetics, and explains them so anyone can understand the intricate, and complex issues involved.
And to think it all started when I got into breeding Paint Horses I found thier coat markings to be very interesting. And little was known then except for the basic Paint patterns when I started. This book puts a whole new light on it all. It's a must read book.
I read both these books over and over again. And I refer to these books a lot. I would highly recomend them.
