Horse Health Care

Horse Health Care is very detailed & well organized for a new horse owner or others more experienced, since it provides a number of alternative options for different issues & tasks.

A great book for the new horse owner!

This is a great book for the new owner who hasn't been brought up aroung horses. It has great pictures and goes into a lot of detail about nutrition, vaccinations, illness/injury, age characteristics ect.

This book made owning a horse a lot easier

Without Cherry Hill and her books with all the pictures I am sure I would have been panicking at every little scratch on my horses. She explains things so a non-horse person can understand without having to run to dictionaries or other horse reference books to look up her explaination. I buy all her books as I find them and enjoy her friendly way of writing. Thank you Cherry Hill for taking the time to make the explaination interesting and informative.

This book covers so much information. As a first time owner or someone who has owned a few good horses: you need this book. Illustrations are great and the information invaluable for any horse facility.
