| | Description | The love of horses often finds its expression in the horse barn-in the grandeur of the architecture, the extravagance of the detail, and the extent of the comforts that owners lavish on their favorite creatures. The masterpieces of equine architecture featured in this book attest to that devotion. With luxuries such as mahogany stalls, Spanish-tiled floors, and the latest in horse technology and training, these are not your average barns; rather, they attest to the extremes of elegant simplicity and outrageous glamour that convey a horse owners devotion, ambition, and style. From prestigious and well-known horse barns such as Churchill Downs to private stables nestled in the Colorado mountains, Ultimate Horse Barns comprises a wide variety of barns certain to pique any horse owners fancy. Twenty North American barns in all, each one of a kind, they all have one thing in common-the love, appreciation, and awe of the horses they house. |  |

Spectacular Accommodations for Prize Horses Jan 03, 2007
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
And I thought that people spent a lot of money on houses. Then again, with horses of the caliber being housed here, I suppose the cost of the Ultimate Horse Barns being shown here isn't significant after all. You could build nearly any of them for say $4 to $5 million. Needless to say these are not little sheds just to keep the horse out of the rain.
The buildings included here range from new construction to buildings that are well over a hundred years old. Many of these buildings are part of institutions such as the University of Vermont, the Kiwanis Club of West Toronto. Some belonged to the rich and famous, such as Vanderbilt. Some are working horse farms, but with a specialty in breeding or training high end horses.
Note though that these are working barns. There are horses here, horses being groomes, trained, or like 'Bailey' on page 125 looking out of his stall as if to say, 'OK, it's morning, where's my breakfast.'

Ultimate Horse Barns Jan 18, 2007
By K. Hicks As a lover of horses and pictoral books on design, I have been looking for this type of book on horse barns for quite some time. This book contains a well thought out range of historic and new equine related buildings that have been beautifully photographed. The descriptive passages relating to each property give a very personal and charming look at the development, building process and use of the buildings. My interest in the book was primarily in the photographs which are not over powered by the text. I have purchased a number of other books on the subject but they do not compare to the quality of this publication. For horse lovers, would be barn builders and lovers of unique architecture, I highly recommend "Ultimate Horse Barns".

The architecture of the stable. Feb 07, 2009
By Robert P. Beveridge
"xterminal"
Randy Leffingwell, Ultimate Horse Barns (Voyageur, 2006)
Funny how things work out. I had originally planned on Ultimate Horse Barns being among the first books I read in 2008; it turns out it's the first book I finished in 2009. Still, it doesn't matter when you read this book, only that, if you're interested in architecture and that sort of thing, that you do.
Leffingwell profiles fourteen of America's institutions' horse barns, ranging from the stately and classical (George Vanderbilt's Biltmore, in North Carolina) to the ultra-modern (California's Lucky Dog Ranch, whose barn wins architecture and design awards). Not just a book of photographs, this (which I have to admit is what I expected); Leffingwell offers us 8-10 pages of mixed photographs and text, giving us a quick overview of the barn's history, quotes from the people presently working there, a look at life in a working horse barn. And each one is different, which the reader might not expect.
But really, it's Randy Leffingwell. You're here for the pictures, and a fine lot they are. Leffingwell spent some quality time at each of the institutions, and it's obvious in the wide range of shots on display here. This is gorgeous work, and well worth browsing on a rainy afternoon. I do wish the book had been a bit wider-ranging; fourteen barns seems a bit small a number to really give an idea of the breadth of what's out there. But what's here is excellent, and deserves your attention. ****

Rename: "Some Nice to Okay Horse Barns" May 28, 2011
By Dorrie Fletcher I bought this book expecting to see pages of luxurious and elegant barns. Instead there are a couple of nice barns but the others are just regular stables, nothing special. With all the grand Haciendas in nearby Mexico, with the fancy stables formerly attached to old family estates, when we have the old Gladstone, etc. it is not too much to expect the book to live up to its title. As it is, I know of at least three of my friend's barns that are nicer than some in this book.
