Product Description
Feeding a horse the right amount of food, putting on the proper equipment, and knowing when to call the vet are not tasks that can be left to chance. With Hispanics and Latinos now dominating the equine work force, the language barrier can pose a problem for bosses and employees alike. That's where The Ultimate English-Spanish Dictionary for Horsemen can help. Written specifically for horse people, the dictionary covers topics and words that regular English-Spanish dictionaries might not. For example, horse health care, feeding, grooming, tack and equipment, and breeding terms are part of the more than 10,000 topically grouped word and phrase entries commonly used in the horse industry. Additional features include a points of the horse illustration labeled in both Spanish and English, regional variations, and a pronunciation guide.

 A Must Own for Any Horse Person January 28, 2008

I searched high and low for an industry specific English/Spanish dictionary...this book is a show stopper. Organized into topical chapters (shoeing the horse, feeds, feed supplements, racing, polo, etc), the words are organized alphabetically within each section. It is comprehensive and easy to navigate. It is the gold standard for English/Spanish dictionaries. Everyone on my team owns one!

This book is truly a "must have" if, like me, you live near the US/Mexican border and own horses. Actually, this is the THIRD copy of this book I've purchased because when I've loaned these books to people, I never see them again.

This book is the best I've seen and a must have for anyone in the horse industry. I just ordered a second copy for my son-in-law an equine veterinarian. It makes it easy to communicate with barn workers, trainers etc. who speak Spanish as their first language. An absolutely great tool that it easy to use and filled with vocabularly you can't find anywhere else. I think every college with an equine-related major or minor should have this book available in their bookstore.
much needed June 23, 2010

This book is essential if you are working with spanish speaking people around horses. It is organized along topic lines so if you are teaching a lesson, you can refer to the terms you will need by that section. If you are talking to your groom, there is a section on that. Or if you are the barn manager and need to communicate tasks, etc., there is a section on that too. And all equestrian disciplines are covered. This book is indispensible anytime you have a spanish-speaking horse person.

I love this book. I did a whole report in spanish about horses and at first i couldnt find any translations for the different horsemen terms until I found this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Very useful.
