new to horse care, or just a needed refresher

i have loved horses all my life, but watching TV doesnt give you anywhere NEAR the insight you need when actually owning, caring for, sometimes first-aiding horses. this is a very good, easy to understand horse care, attitude, modest training book. this isnt how to break and make a world class horse, it is how to handle common problems that are almost universal in horses. i have learned so much by using this and other books, i have to recommend to ANYONE who hasnt owned a horse, or has but is only after many years getting back into it, to re-read this and other books like this. rather than state specific detail, just understand this book hits on some of the real everyday problems all horse owners will or have or are facing. it isnt an extremely indepth coeverage of each area, it is more of a " ok,, lets FIX the basic problem now, which will make it easier to get more advanced later" kind of book. so in that sense, it is ideal. i do wish it was a little longer, or i would give it 5 stars, as there is a few minor areas ( or just ones i am interested in, like foals from newborn to a few months ) that i wanted more depth, BUT, if it covered everything, it would be 1500 pages long, and cost $300.. i recommend this book for anyone who really isnt a genuine expert in most areas of horse care.

Excellent help for first time horse owners.

I have browsed through another horse owner's book and I liked what I saw so I ordered this for myself. It has all the answers to questions that I, as a first time horse owner, have asked. I cant wait to read my own copy in depth. Some of the questions that were answered for me are how to know if my horse is sick, proper shoe care, and other health related issues that i feel are most important.
