Product Description

Synopsis
In this manual Nancy Loving explains everything a rider needs to know, from selecting a horse and investing in equipment to evaluating fitness and nutrition. There is information on: athletic foot care; intelligent nutrition; conditioning principles and training philosophy; methods of evaluating fitness; conditioning for specific terrain and climactic factors; cooling strategies during training and competition; and evaluation of metabolic health and soundness. The work should help experienced long-distance riders improve their training and competitive skills, as well as guide anyone who is thinking of trying long-distance riding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know about this sport, 13 Aug 2000
By A Customer
It only takes the description by Dr Kerry Ridgeway, who is "Mr Endurance" in terms of managing the veterinary side of the sport, as a " reference bible", to know that this is THE book. The author, herself an endurance rider and vet, takes you as deep into the science of the performance horse as you want, in terms that anybody can understand, but including information that even veterinarians have forgotten. The chapters on feeding and shoeing are top of the table in their helpful opinions on aspects of this sport that is not covered elsewhere, and troubleshooting tips can be found throughout this well-thumbed manual. The only problem is that the book is so easy to read, yet thorough, that lending it out only results in it getting lost - tell people to get their own copies!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book but a bit american, 11 Oct 2007
By Clippi "horse crazy" (Staffs, England) - See all my reviews
For those sarting out in endurance this is a great book, but the more I've read it the more 'american' I've found it- saying that I do keep picking it up and flicking through. There are some really interesting things - like the effects of traveling on the horse.
