I am so glad that my book is now published in the English language. When I first began studying horse color, most of my sources were in English because of lack of information in Russian. That is why my first aim was to tell something new to my native horsemen. Now I hope to say something new to English-speaking horsepeople around the world.

Writing and publishing a book is never an easy matter, and I am grateful to all the people who helped me with this process. I thank my husband for his patience, faith, and support. Thank you to Yevgeniy Matuzov for his interest in horse color genetics and generous support of my Silver gene research, and to Tatyana Zubkova for her Dun gene research, which is really important for the conservation of Russian Don and Budyonny breeds.

I especially thank Dr. Michal Prochazka, who respected my book enough to be so kind as to translate it into English. The English edition you are holding in your hands now would have been impossible without his participation.
