Good stable management has always formed the basis of good horsemanship.  But in recent years, new ideas and developments in the equestrian world have provided horse owners with various options - and, along with them, conflicting advice - for ensuring the health, general well-being and happiness of their horses.

The Horse Owner's Stable Handbook is a comprehensive and accessible guide to all aspects of managing your horse kindly and efficiently.  Drawing on the principles underlying both traditional and modern practice, it explores the alternative and ultimately provides a system that is thorough and up-to-date, but also realistically practicable.  There is advice on everything from the basics of day-to-day routine to dealing with unforeseen problems and implementing long-term improvements; and, thoruhgout, there are tips and suggestions for making sensible economies.  Fully illustrated with photographs and line-drawings, the book will show you how to make the most of the time and resources at your disposal, and how to choose the management methods to suit both you and your horse.
