From the Author

The best way to learn about horses
"Horses for Dummies" was a labor of love. I've been riding horses since I was a child, and have long wanted to help newcomers learn what they need to know to get the most out of their relationships with these incredible creatures.

"Horses for Dummies" aims to do that and more. The book gives you all the basics you need to get started in riding and being around horses--and will help you decide if and when horse ownership is right for you.

The horse world can be a bit daunting to newcomers. There is so much to know! But with "Horses for Dummies" as your guide, you'll find that learning about horses is not only easier than you think, but lots of fun too! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate horse book, 24 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Horses for Dummies (Howell dummies series) (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect basic reference!, 27 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Horses for Dummies (Howell dummies series) (Paperback)

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!

-- Gina Spadafori, Universal Press Syndicate pet-care columnist, author of "Dogs For Dummies" and co-author of "Cats For Dummies" and "Birds For Dummies."
