SECOND HAND
Although winter is only one of the seasons, most horse owners spend nine months of the year getting ready for it, getting through it and getting over it, for it is the hardest and most unpleasant for owners and the one in which horses can suffer most due to particularly health, management and work-related difficulties.
This book presents winter management practices which really work. In a thoroughly practical and accessible way, it explains how the horse’s bodily processes work and relates them to sound horse-care principles, giving many time- and labour-saving tips along the way.
Covering climate, body temperature, shelter and housing, feeding and watering, care of the skin and coat, feet and legs, clothing and bedding, exercise, health and condition, winter sports, all special winter jobs and activities, it will be indispensible to all those responsible for the care of horses and ponies of all types in winter.
