From the Author
Learn How to Design and Maintain Your Dream Acreage
Whether you have one acre or one hundred, this book will help you design, remodel, and manage your horse facilities with safety, comfort, and convenience in mind. Since land is becoming more scarce with each moment, we need to learn how to protect this valuable resource and still enjoy our horses. I cover designing the layout, barn planning, fencing, training facilities, pasture management, tractor and implement selection, water, sanitation, routines and records and more. The 179 pages contain over 120 photos and illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A no-nonsense look at horse/facility management, 11 Jun 1999

By A Customer

I found this book to be a honest look at what it takes to maintain a horse, and the related facilities. It helps paint a very realistic picture of what will be needed to setup and maintain a horse facility. If you are unsure of your level of commitment, this book will help show you the real deal. The book provides a nice general overview of most aspects of horse keeping, however you may still want/need additional refrences for more detail in specific areas. All in all a great general refrence book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on horsekeeping I've read. Simple, never boring., 9 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Cherry Hill is the best author on horses I've read to date. Concise, understandable, no gibberish. Maintains my interest and doesn't waste my time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading before you bring your horses home., 9 Feb 1998

By A Customer

When we moved to the country and were faced with transforming an old milking barn into a functional barn for our horses, I bought this book. Six years later, I still refer to it on a regular basis. It's been indispensible guidance in all kinds of decisions, ranging from fencing, to stall flooring, to placement of overhead lights, to automatic waterers, to manure management, to bedding, to concrete aisleways, and much more. The book isn't usually the last word that makes my decision, but it's almost always where I start when I take on a new project around the farm. It's saved me time, money, and frustration by warning of common errors and guiding me to an informed decision. This book has payed for itself over and over again, and I will continue to reach for it first, before making any decisions on my next barn project.
