Not Very Useful
11 Mar 2007
Format:Hardcover
The authors suggest that this book contains practical knowledge for the person thinking of keeping a horse. I found very little of their prattling useful. The authors have several full and part time employees and apparently, a limitless bank account to spend on their hobby. Along with the many ridiculous suggestions that would make you think that keeping a horse is rocket science, the reader will note a large degree of arrogance. This is mostly directed towards the "help".

A thorough, basic coverage for newcomers to the horse world
3 April 2006
Format:Hardcover
Understand what you're getting into by owning a horse before it ever hits your pasture with Horse Housekeeping: Everything You Need To Know To Keep A Horse At Home. From setting up the barn and checking fencing to understanding feeding requirements, common health issues, and even how weather affects the horse, the authors provide a thorough, basic coverage for newcomers to the horse world. Adding interest to the practical information are stories about horses which offer case histories and often funny reflections.

It was good for a laugh
27 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
I got this book from the library about a year back for some vacation reading, hoping to gain some tips on how to run my little 3-horse farmette more smoothly. What I got out of it was a good laugh, and no practical knowledge whatsoever. Mr. and Mrs. Korda have two employees for their small farm of less than half a dozen horses. The book goes on and on about all kinds of peculiar, uptight procedures they follow in their horses' daily care--for example, how, when a horse is brought into his stall after turnout or work, Mrs. Korda requires the groom to stand with a bucket to catch the horse's first pee so that it doesn't soil the new bedding! A much better title for the book would be, "Horse Housekeeping: How to make horsekeeping at home into much more work than it is already".
If you're looking for a practical guide for the do-it-yourself, home-care horseowner, check out "Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage" by Cherry Hill. I've found it invaluable!
