Customer Reviews

Excellent!

This book is great for anyone who would like to enjoy horse ownership but not go completely broke in the process. It offers many useful tips and gives you great resources from other books and horse companies. Highly recommended for the earliest horse owner, to the seasoned one!

Actually convinced my Dad to let me (finally) get a horse!!!

What an informative, well-written book full of useful and realistic ideas and suggestions! All do able and easy. Gave frank, frill-less and 100% sound advice on owning a horse, where to keep it and HOW to keep it-cheaply! Prices quoted were lower than I can find anywhere (for thermometers & tack, etc.) but a wonderful book none the less. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This book is well written and great for beginners.

This is a great book which offers many affordable options for a first-time horse buyer or someone interested in buying a horse. It details many different ways to approach buying your horse, depending upon your interest and inclination. Very informative book.

Excellent source of info

I have been thinking about buying a horse for a long time but it always seemed impossible because of the cost. This book brought up so many ideas that I never even considered. It really means "low-cost".

Informative and helpful

This book provides the basics of finding a healthy horse for an affordable price and also covers the other costs involved from feed to veterinary care. As someone considering the purchase of a horse in the near future, I found this book very helpful in making an informed and realistic decision about ownership.
