5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book for buying first horse!, 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
The book was very easy to read and gives good advice on expenes, boarding, leasing. Any first time buyer should read this book. As much as I would like to buy a horse now, I learned that I am better off leasing a horse until I can find more time. Leasing has been a wonderful way to go and I still get to enjoy being around horses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good information before buying a horse, 20 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Dear folks at White Papers Press: thanks for your prompt shipment of Buying Your First Horse. We have looked at many horses but haven't found the right one - yet. We keep referring back to your fine publication! Thanks!

2.0 out of 5 stars This book offers too many generalizations., 5 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I puchased this book in conjunction with The Affordable Horse and found this book lacking the detail I needed in regard to many of it's topics. The Affordable Horse did have the information I wanted however.(Thankfully) Many of the pages in Buying Your First Horse refer to common sense items. Example, don't walk behind a horse, you may be kicked. The book refers the reader to different sources for information but doesn't provide detail within it's own pages. I was disappointed.
