Painting Horses in Oil, by Cindy Larimore
I picked this up at a yard sale, as I can rarely pass up any Walter Foster books when I see them. I was pleased at how practical and useful this book is. There are a lot of beautiful paintings by the author of different breeds of horses and different poses, but even more than that, this book goes into a horse's anatomy, names the body parts, and shows muscular and skeletal views as well as differences in breeds, and particular things to look for in your subject. Horses were the first thing I learned to draw realistically in third grade, and I have painted horses a few times as an adult, but this book will definitely help me to understand the horse in order to paint it better.
