 This is one of three of my favorite horse booksOct 26, 2000
By Karin R. Cuda
I was surprised to see some negative reviews about this book. I have to disagree with the people that thought it was "too basic". From all the complete horse care books and manuals I've read this one seemed to be the most comprehensive. It seems to me that most of the complete horse care books are aimed at readers fairly new to the subject. After all, if you had already had a horse for 5 years, it would be kind of late to check out how to take care of it... I found the easy-to-understand text very accommodating and not at all annoying. The pictures were excellent (especially the angles on the "fitting tack" section) and 18 pages of "symptoms, cause, treatment, and prevention" charts on common horse illnesses and injuries were very comprehensive. I originally got this book from the library and decided to purchase a copy to keep since I found it so much better than most of the other "complete" care books. BTW my other two favorites are "Riding for the Rest of us" by Jessica Jahiel, and "From the Ground up" by Brenda Imus.

Great Book-I loved itDec 07, 2000
The book covers all the things you need to know about horses, from feeding, to blanking, to stabling,to riding, to training, to caring for a ill horse. It tells you how to measure for tack, how to put tack on, and what tack you need for your horse. I have read this book from cover to cover and would definately give it 5 stars! Great book, I would highly recomend it as a gift or for the horse person wanting to learn more about horses!

Excellent for new ridersDec 16, 2005
By Ashleigh James
"rider"
This is a great book for first learning about horses, how to care for them, feeding, symptoms of illnesses, and it's simple to read and understand. It gives the basics for people who might want to own a horse for the first time so that you can know what to watch out for and take the best care of your horse. I'd recommend this book for first time horse owners, and for people working with horses for the first time. It's comprehensive and gives you a lot of great info.

Great Book!Oct 08, 1999
This book is great! It tells EVERYTHING you want to know! From what plants they can and can't eat to whats the best fencing to use. Plus, how to know when your horse is sick! You won't regret purchasing this book expecially if it's your first horse!

TOTAL INFORMATIONOct 22, 2002
This book is great if you are a rider or want to be a rider, but you do not realy know how to take care about the horse. You know some things, but this book describes the care in easy words and colored pictures. It helped me a lot! Thanks so much!
