A rare book on the Peruvian horse written by breed legend, Verne Albright. The first book published in the US specific to this wonderful breed. Editors Note: The author has taken a very personal point of view, and he has also quoted quite extensively from Luis de Ascasubi, the well-known Ecuadorian horseman. Thus in a way, Luis de Ascasubi is a co-author of sorts. Verne Albright has become a leading international expert on the Peruvian Paso horse. He was instrumental in the formation of the American Association of Owners and Breeders of Peruvian Paso Horses, and he has done leg-work for the importation of many of the Peruvian horses in this country. There is much valuable information here as well as some thought-provoking philosophy. This book should remain a very valuable reference for many years to come, not only for the Peruvian Paso enthusiast but for true horsemen of all types. William E. Jones. Inscribed by the author, Verne Albright, to "Mark and June" on 12/19/1976. This would be Mark and June Marcum, early US owner breeders.
