This book opens with a chapter on selecting the horse which best matches your needs and ability, the time you have available for care and exercise and, most importantly, the activities you hope to pursue. Judith Draper then gives expert advice on issues relating to horse ownership and management: the different systems for keeping a horse, whether it be stabled or at grass, and all aspects of stable management. There is extensive information on plaiting, clipping and shoeing and a comprehensive section on health and basic first aid. The many informative photographs and illustrations include step-by-step sequences that show you how to look after a horse or pony properly. Authoritative, attractively presented and easy to use, Caring for your Horse is the definitive, new practical guide for all horse and pony owners.
