This review is from: Stablekeeping: A Visual Guide to Safe and Healthy Horsekeeping (Horsekeeping Skills Library) (Paperback)
I recently read this book to brush up on my horsekeeping skills...The information helped me to plan our new barn.By reading this book I was able to pick out small things to help me design and lay out my barn and corral areas...It's very helpful to be organized, have a tack room designed to take care of all my expensive tack and have things easily available in case of an injury or emergency.

5.0 out of 5 stars Health horses, September 20, 2005
This review is from: Stablekeeping: A Visual Guide to Safe and Healthy Horsekeeping (Horsekeeping Skills Library) (Paperback)
I have 1 indoor arena, 1 covered arena, and can stall up to 100 horses. Cherry Hill writes in an easy to understand and very articulate manner information that anyone owning from one to One Hundred horses should read.

She has a keen and very healthy insight with a common sense approach to horses. I was lucky enough to meet her at "Road To The Horse" where she was one of the prestigious judges, and very impressed with her down to earth and friendly attitude. She has a true passion for horses and what is in their best interest.

I have at least 6 of her books and plan on purchasing the rest as time & money allow. You will get your moneys worth from her.
