If you want to draw horses then I can recommend this book. It really is just about drawing—no
words are required so there are none. There is a brief introduction to using the book and further tips,
but after that it is up to you.

I was impressed with the beautiful simplicity of this slender book, reminding me irresistibly of the old
Walter Foster series I learnt to draw from. This breaks the horse down into some basic shapes, and then
adds the details in two or more drawings. Every new stage shows the next part in color, and finally there
is a pencil drawing and a colored study of the subject. There is a large range of horse poses to choose
from including headshots, galloping, rolling, rearing, jumping, etc. to go with a good range of horse breeds,
from the Przewalski to the Lipizzaner, Exmoor Pony to Bay Arab, and everything in between. Another one
intended for my keeper shelf, and at under £5 (0r $10) inexpensive and very useful.
