My husband's favorite book,
By Lauren Costa (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The new care and training of the trotter and pacer (Hardcover)
Bought this for my husband he is involved in harness racing. He had the old 1950's version and I bought him this version for Christmas. He is not a reader but he can be seen reading it every evening. It has all the information for someone interested in raising or buying and racing horses for harness racing.

The New Care & Training of the Trotter and Pacer,
This review is from: The New Care and Training of the Trotter and Pacer (Hardcover)
This is a must if you want to understand the trotter and it's history. It also recalls some of the best stallions
and feedback about them from their perspective trainers. After reading this book you will have built a foundation for yourself to be better at buying yearlings, understanding pedigrees and horses in general. There is a large amount of information now on the internet that is accessible for reasonable fees. This book gives you the ability to use that information to make the sport and your future in it that much more exciting!!
4.0 out of 5 stars
A very good tutorial,
By Jussi Tomperi "Jussi" (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Care and Training of the Trotter and Pacer (Hardcover)
I think that "The New Care and Training of the Trotter & Pacer" provides an easily readable tutorial to the harness racing and welfare of a horse. The book contains chapters from virtually all relevant areas of training and maintaining horses and some of the authors are even able to provide some detailed tips on specific issues of shoeing, training and caretaking. Although it should be kept in mind that there is no universal truth in horse training & racing I believe that the authors of the book provide lots to think about within their area of specialty.
For a European-based reader these a word of caution: one should always reflect the content of the book against the American racing culture. For instance, in America horses predominantly race at the ages 2 and 3 whereas in most parts of Europe horses race at the ages 3 and above. These type of differences should be taken into account when adapting the methods etc. provided by the authors of the book. Nevertheless, a very recommended reading for any horseman!
