5.0 out of 5 stars How-To Manual For the Horse Owner!, June 13, 1997

By A Customer

This is an excellent book, it gives sensible knowledge gained from the authors' own experiences. While being in-depth it is not overly technical or overly specified. If you like this book it has two companions by the same authors, Basic Training and Basic Riding

5.0 out of 5 stars The 'Basic' Series, March 4, 2001

By	"nluszcz" (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews

I own all three of Prince and Collier's equestrian books, Basic Horse Care, Riding, and Training, and have found them to be very informative to a begining rider like myself. These authurs write in a manner that explains the content in an easy to understand way while not talking down to the reader. All three of these books can help a rider of any level understand the material and are the foundation of my collection.
