Customer Reviews

Excellent reference: a must have for all horsemen!

I was very impressed with this compact, to the point book. Susan Harris is at her best, assembling diagrams and directions for all types of wraps! I have used this book as a teaching tool with a beginner, explaining polo wraps and shipping wraps, shared it with experienced horse men & women, and we've all been helped and pleasantly surprised by the clear, step by step writing and great illustrations. This is a great tool to have on the book shelf to help you when you wrap areas you seldom need to wrap, as it includes clear directions on the spider wraps, how to wrap knees and hocks, and much more! I am certain several pages of this book will be copied, laminated, & posted in my barn for reference for years! Makes a wonderful gift for any serious horse owner!

Outstanding and informative for even a beginning horseperson

Like most of the other books published by the United States Pony Club, this one is tops. It not only explains how to bandage your horse but shows you with clear illustrations as well. I am a member of the U.S. Pony Club and found this book useful in studying for ratings. It taught me so well that I scored higher than average. This book is the best book on the topic ever written!
