...This definitive guide, written by a journalist with many years of hands-on experience in horse-keeping, is for anyone who has ever dreamed of owning & stabling their own horse. The no-nonsense approach encompasses the many responsibilities, challenges & financial implications facing the horse owner. It may destroy some romantic notions about horse ownership, but the author also manages to convey the undeniable thrill of owning your own horse, of being able to stable, feed, groom, nurture & care for it in every aspect, & of course being able to ride it at will. Sensible & authoritative text & fact panels, supported by colour illustrations, detailed diagrams & specially commissioned step-by-step photography informs readers about how to purchase & care for the horse (or pony) best suited to their needs, pockets & available space. The text has been fully updated.
