The Complete Guide to Horse Care,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Horselopaedia: A Complete Guide to Horse Care (Howell Equestrian Library) (Paperback)
Not a book for the beginner. Used too many terms without giving any reference. I had to refer to other books just to find out what the author was talking about. Alot of medical, longwinded jargon that isn't useful in real life when a simplified, straight-forward description would suffice. If you have a horse and you want to learn how to take care of your charge I would not recommend this book to do it. Great book for a medical student.

The Best!,

This review is from: Horselopaedia: A Complete Guide to Horse Care (Howell Equestrian Library) (Paperback)
I loved this book and it was really good to have around the house when the horses were there. It told and taught me tons that I didn't know, even though I have been riding forever
