For anyone who currently owns a horse or who is thinking about acquiring one, this highly illustrated practical guide will make choosing, looking after and exercising a horse more successful and enjoyable.

Understanding “where a horse is coming from”, is essential for proper care and management and the author is careful to take this into consideration as she details feeding strategies, housing options, transporting tactics, working out routines and grooming procedures.

Keeping a horse safer and healthy is also essential, so there is vital information on security as well as comprehensive sections on regular health maintenance, recommended breeding practices and how to recognise and treat common injuries and illnesses.

Perhaps most important, the book expands on the pleasurable aspects of the horse and rider relationship and is filled with tips on how to ensure that both partners find being together increasingly rewarding.
