Product Description
Product Description
Grassland management can be complicated and frustrating. Even with a small paddock there is either too much grass or too much ragwort. Field Management for Horses and Ponies shows you how to analyse your existing pasture in order to maximize the quantity and quality of your grazing. It gives practical advice on soil analysis, fertilizing, harrowing and ploughing, land drainage, fencing and problems such as weed infestation and poisonous plants. Anyone who wishes to improve their grazing and get the most out of their land - from the owner of one horse or pony who is kept on a small area of rented land to the riding school proprietor - will find the easy-to-understand advice given in this book invaluable.

Sian has also worked in the BHS press office for their 'Root out Ragwort' campaign and has worked with trainers and breeders on a variety of private premises specializing in areas from dressage to eventing. Sian is also the author of All About Beds and Bedding in the Allen photographic guide series.

Not as expected,

This review is from: Field Management for Horses and Ponies (Allen Photographic Guides) (Paperback)
Very disapponted - I think this is oversold in it's description. It would be absolutely fine for child (10yr or under) to gain a knowledge of a horse's requirements, but is in no way suitable for adults who are looking to set up or manage a paddock.
I recommend you spend the extra money and get a book which will be of use to you.

I ordered two field management books, what I received was two pamphlets, neither of which contain anything that would be of use to anyone with a basic knowledge of gardening.
