What are some good horse books?

Question

Hey there, so I want to learn more about like feeding, conformation, ect. Considering, I don't have that much knowledge of them. I've been riding 9 years, so I don't really want books, that explain how to ride, considering i know how to ride, so what are some good books that can help me learn more about like advanced horse care? I know the basic stuff, like grooming, and such. Just any good books would be great
