Expert trainers explain how to care for and train a wild horse.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
It is encouraging to think that enough people are adopting wild horses that a book on the subject is needed. The author emphasizes that anyone adopting a wild horse should definitely consider it to be a companion and not a "yard ornament." In a very concise and organized way, she sets forth for the reader all possible considerations when and if adopting and what needs to be done to basically care for a wild horse. Especially helpful is the list of expenses to consider before adopting. Much of the book reflects information found in general horse-care manuals. However, the author does center her thesis on the wild horse and its special needs as opposed to a "green" horse that has been raised in a stable. There are major differences in handling and expectations. The introduction gives a brief and interesting history of the "wild horse movement" in America, which started in 1952. Recommended for public libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Guide!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wild Horse: An Adopter's Manual (Hardcover)
This book is the best book that I've read about wild horses so far. I don't think that the authors could have put any of the information clearer. A great book to read for those who are thinking of or already have a wild horse. *Also has information where to obtain a wild horse and a few helpful websites.*
5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for adoptors of wild horses,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wild Horse: An Adopter's Manual (Hardcover)
"The Wild Horse, An Adoptor's Manual" is an excellent guide to gentling a wild horse. Step by step procedures are presented in terms a novice can follow. Illustrations and photos provide clear, concise techniques for approaching the horse, what to do in emergencies, how to re-halter and continue on through leading, training and groundwork. All too often adoptors find they do not know what to do, get discouraged if their techniques don't work, feel they have failed and no longer want the horse in which case both adoptor and horse suffer. Potential adoptors should read this book BEFORE adopting. There are tips on choosing a mustang and preparations for penning and housing are carefully detailed. It is a shame that this book is out of print. Every adoptor should receive a copy when adopting a wild horse.
