<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the private to the historic to the state-of-the-art, a lavish tour of some of the most notable stables in the country. A celebration of horses and their lodgings, this exquisite book covers horse country across the United States--from the East Coast to the Bluegrass, the prairie and mountain ranches, and to the Pacific Coast--and traces the origins of twenty-five stunning stables, from their vernacular beginnings in the early nineteenth century to the contemporary designs of today. Included are a farm in the countryside near Saratoga Springs, New York, which bears an 1830s-constructed main barn that originally housed draft horses and now accommodates retired race horses turned polo ponies, and a world-renowned Arabian horse-breeding farm in Santa Ynez Valley, California, that resembles a spa and country club with Mediterranean-style architecture and landscaping and has in the stable courtyard a stone fountain reminiscent of the ubiquitous waterworks in Moorish palaces. Uniquely spectacular, each selection is a reflection of its regional heritage. Featuring all-new color photography, <i>Stables</i> showcases the best of America's diverse equine homes--a must-have for any horse or architecture enthusiast.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This unforgettable amble through America's horse country offers access to some of the most notable stables and equestrian centers from coast to coast. <i>Ablemarle Magazine</i> <p/>...a lavish tour through some of the most notable stables throughout the Unites States... <i>Sophisticated Living Magazine</i> <p/><i>Stables: Beautiful Paddocks, Horse Barns, and Tack Rooms</i> takes us on an alluring journey through America's horse country.
