The Complete Guide to Horse Care (The Practical Handbook Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A fascination with the horse, which is a most graceful and noble creature, often leads to the desire to have and care for a horse or pony of one's own. The Complete Guide to Horse Care is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to looking after a horse or pony on a daily basis. The horse is renowned for its versatility, and thus the book begins with a chapter on selecting and buying a horse that best meets a variety of specific needs, like riding abilities, time available for care and exercise, and most importantly, the activities one wishes to pursue, such as riding for pleasure, showing, dressing, or driving. In subsequent chapters, Judith Draper gives expert advice in the full range of issues relating to horse ownership and management: the different systems for keeping a horse; whether the horse is to be stabled or at grass; and all aspects of stable management, such as bedding, feeding, watering, and exercising. There is also extensive information on plaiting, clipping, and shoeing, with step-by-step sequences for easy reference, as well as a comprehensive section on first aid. The Complete Guide to Horse Care is both authoritative and attractive, making it the definitive new practical guide for all horse and pony owners.
