This review is from: Eco-Horsekeeping: Over 100 Budget-Friendly Ways You and Your Horse Can Save the Planet (Paperback)

Ecohorsekeeping provides easy to implement ways to reduce the environmental impact of caring for and enjoying horses. Explanations, recycling ideas, and how to's make this book a keeper and a good resource. The book moves from just theories and ideas to actual barns and cities that are doing their part to reduce the impact horsekeepng can make on our environment. Discussion of the cost of various approaches such as water conservation, water bottle recycling, and others give readers the tools to evaluate the steps they can begin immediately and the ones that will come over time. Good resource.
