I have owned, raised, and trained my own horses from a very young age and even though I already know the basics, I found this book to be very useful. From basic horse keeping to in depth descriptions of many equine health problems, this book is one that even the experienced rider and horse owner should have. It contains fabulous drawings and seperates each sections accordingly. I have not found a basic question that this book couldn't answer. It is a must have for any horseman.

I purchased these books as a starting point for learning about horse care. We recently purchased five horses. I've been riding horses for years, but have never had sole responsiblity for a horse's care. This book was very straightforward and easy to look up specific information. The diagrams are informative and helpful. I don't agree with all the advice it gives in the book, but then I never agreed with one hundred percent of what was written in baby books when I had my children either! I think they turned out OK!

This book is not a child's book, but contains information on every horse topic conceivable. It's a good reference for someone new to horse ownership because it contains information on just about everything!

I originally got 'Raising Horses', from the library. My daughter's horse had a 'baby'(our first). This book held so much, and such great information that my family decided to order this book and 'Training Horses', both by Heather Smith Thomas. I highly recommend Ms Thomas books to anyone, at any horse knowledge level.

Out of all the horse care books I have read.. This one is very clear and covers most every area in raising horses. Anyone looking for a good horse care book, this one is the best I have found. I have other horse care books but I refer to this one the most.

Has everything you'll need to take care of horses effectively. Many useful pictures too.
