From the Inside Flap
Susan Harris has found the way to take a good book and make it better. She's done it by updating Grooming to Win, the definitive reference on the subject, to include current show–ring standards and breed requirements as well as other changes that have taken place since the book was first published in 1977. Now there is a new Western chapter and a chapter on dressage and the Sport Horse, to mention but two of the most notable additions. Extensive new information is given on the following topics:
- conditioning and developing show horses
- health care, feeding, leg care, bandaging and massage
- safety in handling, grooming and clipping the difficult horse
- techniques and products for show grooming, braiding, clipping and trimming
- show presentation details for all breeds and disciplines.

Susan's explanations on the ins and outs of preparing your horse for a show, is an invaluable tool for the novice or for the experienced showperson. I am an experienced horseperson, turned equine photographer, and her book has helped me to fine tune the appearance of many a horse...and rider. The technical data ia explained in a clear concise way, and the illustrations show effectively the use of her techniques. As a photographer, I am often asked by clients how to get the most photogenic turnout of their horse, and I often refer them to Susan's book...all in all, it is an excellent tool for everyone!!
