Thoroughbred Books

If you love horses, you'll love this look. I cannot say enough about the wonderful paintings. Richard Stone Reeves is simply without equal. His paintings have intricate detail, and mirror the personality of each subject. In addition, the text is exceptionally well written. Each painting is accompanied by a history of the horse. Also included is Mr. Reeves' bio. My copy will never be for sale

I purchased this book when it first became available over twenty years ago. The paintings and the text are wonderful. Each featured racehorse is described so vividly-their unique personalities brought to life. I would love to hear from others who admire the equine athlete as I do.

This book portrays every aspect of the thoroghbred racehorse along with beautiful and timeless portraits of truly great and influential champions. I would recommend it to anyone involved in thoroughbred, quarterhorse, paint or appaloosa racing.

I was lucky enough to purchase one of the first editions of Classic Lines which is signed by the author. It is one of my pride possessions.

The brilliantly written text puts you in the stable with these horses, telling you about their little idiosyncrasies, like Hyperion's point-blank refusal to work, but he could run like the wind, and loved having his photograph taken. This is what grabs the heart of a true horse lover. I still tingle with excitement and get shivers down my spine, when I pick up this book and read the stories of these magnificent race horses.

Having bred thoroughbreds, ridden them in all types of eventing and loved them all my life, this book is something I cherish. The drawings by Reeves are perfect and reflect the poetry in motion of these exquisite creatures, on every page. Order this book now you will not regret it.
