Format:Paperback
I have reviewed Ms. Pavia's animal books before for various publications including Newsday and the Voice, and enjoyed them all. But this is her best. This book was an extremely easy guide and an equally enjoyable read for horse owners of every level of expertise. Filled with passion and well-thought out information, HfD is the ultimate horse book. It's smart, funny and most important--helpful.

I was honored to be able to review an early copy of this book -- and proud to give an endorsement quote. I'm a lifelong horse-lover, and I used to ride a great deal. (I have a once-broken bone to prove it from a jump I went over without the benefit of my horse!)
Horses are complicated -- to understand, to buy or lease, to care for, to equip, to train and to handle. Audrey's book does a wonderful job explaining it all, and her love of these marvelous animals comes through on every page.
If you dream of horses, this is a book you must have!

Horses for Dummies
A real surprise - well-informed and highly readable. I went through the entire book in 1 day. Pity it doesn't also come with a horse to practice on.

Informative, average but aimed very much at the US market
This book is not bad but it is not one of the best either. Although it provides some basic tips on horse care and management, and with some humour, it is very much aimed at the US... Read more
