Product Description

It provides information on how to choose and buy a horse, as well as practical advise on all aspects of daily care. Extended chapters concentrate on how to provide the best environment for your horse. Field and stable management are fully discussed. Other topics covered include stable construction, fixtures and fittings, drainage, bedding, mucking out, watering systems and keeping a field free from harmful plants. Always keeping the horse's point of view in the foreground, the book aims to teach how to feed and exercise a horse depending on its own particular requirements, and covers basic rules of exercise such as warming up and winding down, or how to care for a horse in the winter.
