5.0 out of 5 stars It is full of common-sense advice., December 29, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: A Parent's Guide to Buying That First Horse: How-To Find the Ideal Horse for You Family and Avoid Buying a Lemon (Paperback)
Here's a book on buying a first horse which is addressed directly to parents. It includes a lot of common-sense suggestions... The book addresses commonly-asked questions and walks the reader through the purchasing process. There are chapters on equipment, housing, and safety tips, as well as breed registry addresses and a glossary of terms. There's a helpful boarding quiz, and it is full of common-sense advice. Lisa Kiser, Editor of Horse Play Magazin

The guide is an excellent tool for familiarizing one self with the various aspects of working with horses. I recommend this book to families interested in horse ownership. using simple, yet informative vocabulary that even non-horsy folks can understand, the author answers in great detail lots of questions one may have before purchasing what will become a major expense, as well as a trusted companion. So, for all you future horse owners out there, be sure to order a copy of A Parent's Guide To Buying That First Horse before you set out on your search. It's bound to make it a less rocky road!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 16 chapters cover info on breeds, equipment and more!, December 28, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: A Parent's Guide to Buying That First Horse: How-To Find the Ideal Horse for You Family and Avoid Buying a Lemon (Paperback)
Mules are included in this guide for parents as they embark on the purchase of that all important baby sitter for thier child. Sixteen chapters cover information on breeds, equipment, housing, health, safety and organizations. Well written and organized, this guide for parents can be read and enjoyed by the children for whom the purchase is being made. This would be a great opportunity for parent and child to share the book together. With this guide the purcahse of the first horse for a child should be an enjoyable and safe endeavor. It would be an ideal addition to any riding instructor's library to share with prospective buyers. The Brayer, Sue King, Denton, Texas
