Horse Genetics
This is basically more of a primer
on genetics with more detail on genetics in a
general sense without the detailed focus on color
as in the books below. If you want to develop
a broad understanding of genetics, this is the
right text.
Horse Color Explained
Gower
has some critics who disagree with her genetic
theory, but this is still an excellent book, imo.
She has photos of color variations beyond the
norm such as bindle. Still a worthwhile read.
Horse Color
If you can only buy one book on color
genetics, this is probably your best bet. Excellent
photos showing variations on color and color genetics
explained in a fairly straightforward manner.
Equine Genetics and Selection Procedures
If you are looking for the ultimate
book in equine genetics, this is it. It is not the
easiest read, but it has the most details on genetics
and equine selection procedures for breed improvement
above all others!
