Caring for Your Horse

by Lesley Ward

Now updated and expanded, The Horse Illustrated Guide to Caring for Your Horse covers all the fundamentals of horse care from diet and health care to tacking and trailering your horse. Complete with step-by-step instructions, countless tips, full-color photos, and easy-to-use glossary, this book takes the guesswork out of caring for your horse. Owning a horse is every little boy or little girl's dream. For some it has come true, but caring for your horse requires knowledge and experience. Owning a horse can be a beautiful experience if you have all the information you need. Training a horse can be tricky as horses can be extremely temperamental and each horse presents its own set of issues and problems, but this method makes training as easy as possible. Horses require special diets in order for them to be as healthy as possible. Details are here on the appropriate meals for your horse, especially if they require extra or special nutrition. Also included are a variety of riding tips and advice for young riders.

Customer Reviews

A very helpful book

I found the book was very helpful. I am thinking of buying a horse. I had no idea how to take care of the horse. I have been taking riding lessons for some time ,but never shown how to groom or tack up the horse. I found this book very helpful.
