Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
From previous reviews:
'A new classic... a clearly written and easily understood handbook.' - Riding
'It is extremely comprehensive. It is also accurate. In fact, a most valuable book for anyone who owns a horse.' - Horse and Hound --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
From the Back Cover
Since the first edition was published in 1984 Horse and Stable Management has become the recognised source of reliable information on all aspects of the practical management of horses and ponies. It is now the established textbook for everyone who owns a horse or works with horses.
This fourth edition has been radically revised and reorganised to include the most up-to-date and accurate procedures and advice. With many new photographs, Horse and Stable Management includes chapters covering evolution and behaviour, conformation and action, routine preventive measures, nursing the sick horse, first aid, lameness and the management of breeding stock.
Horse and Stable Management is essential reading for those taking British Horse Society and Association of British Riding Schools examinations as well as those taking college equine courses or National Vocational Qualifications in horse care and management. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Hollie Hunter,
This review is from: Horse and Stable Management (Paperback)
This was a great book especially for beginner horse owners. The book would also be good as a textbook in an intro class.I give the book four stars. The two things I did not like about the book was that it should have had more pictures, especially if it is for beginners, and it was more like a textbook format. Overall, I liked the book and would recommend it to teachers and anyone else who is thinking about buying a horse in the future. I bought the book for one of my horse classes and I am also keeping it for my ranch in the future.

It's Okay,
This review is from: Horse and Stable Management (Paperback)
This book is an okay book for someone just starting out with having a horse. It shows good pictures, but I would have liked to see more pictures because I am more of a visual learner than just a text learner. It has some good points with it, though. I like how it has a section on just the horse, granted it wasn't very long or descriptive, but it told of the basic information of the horse. I do like the pictures in it though, when it did have pictures. It was more of a textbook type writing than anything. It was informative, but it wasn't entertaining and it was more boring to read because of the textbookness of it. Overall, if this book was used as an introduction it's pretty good. And if a professor would use it for an intro class, than it would be pretty good. I give it 3 stars.
