Below I am going to list a collection of links to either books or lists of books that cover a verying collection of things pertaining to the care, branding, ownership, racing of, development of, effect off or general information about horses and other animals.
The information covers anything and everything from branding marks from the 1800's in American to who was racing whom in the 50's and a lot inbetween.
All of the information below is meant only to serve as a writing aid not as workable information about the care of any animals mentioned.

This article is from Journal of equine science, volume 19.
To obtain basic knowledge about selecting horses for therapeutic riding, the influence of equine conformation on rider oscillation and relationships between these factors and the evaluation on horses as the therapeutic riding were studied. Thirty-five riding horses were used. Equine conformation was estimated by 24 indices. Rider oscillation was measured by an accelerometer fixed at the rider’s waist. The spatial position of the oscillation was estimated by a double integration of the acceleration. Horses were evaluated for therapeutic riding by a Riding for the Disabled Association instructor as a rider. Evaluations were on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score for 27 items. Horses were classified into 4 groups: the short and narrow, short and wide, tall and narrow, and tall and wide. The frequencies of rider oscillation both at walk and trot were higher, and the vertical and longitudinal amplitudes at trot were smaller, on short horses than on tall horses. The vertical amplitude at walk was smaller and the lateral amplitude at trot was larger on wide horses than on narrow horses. Short horses could be used for the rider who requires side walkers. Wide horses could be used for relieving muscular tension and for the rider who could not maintain good balance on the horse. Short and wide horses should be suitable for therapeutic riding.
