I have a pristine copy, signed by PMG himself.  And as I have a Luso it isn't really that relevent to me although it does have a chapter on Luso's.   rolleyes So I'd thought of selling it if you're interested.

It's a nice book, lots about the history and relationship that the spanish have with their horses, plus instructional stuff as well, eg correct turnout, tack etc.

The thing I like best about it is the photo's of PMG sporting a rather natty moustache which I call his 'p*rn star' era and periodically wind him up about.

The Sylvia Loch, Royal Horse of Europe one is good and there is that classic Spanish one (name escapes me at the mo) but it is about £85.
