Books

Whether you have a pony already, or are thinking of getting your first one, or buying one for your children, this book will improve your knowledge and provide the information necessary to keep the animal in tip-top health.

From the basic decision about whether to have a pony at all, veterinary surgeon Hugh Venables leads on to the questions of where to keep it, how to house it, where to bed it down, and how to equip a stable. He tackles enthusiastically the questions of the quantity of grass and extra food needed, winter and summer.

With his many years’ experience of dealing with horses and ponies, Hugh Venables highlights such important matters as clipping, clothing and the pony’s tack. Of particular value are his chapters on veterinary matters and on care of the feet and legs.
