The Horse and Pony Care Bibleis the brand-new, definitive guide for anyone who already owns a horse or is thinking about getting one.

You will learn how to forge a strong rider-horse relationship and how to find the right trainer to help you progress, whether you want to compete or ride purely for pleasure. There is advice and information on competing, from preparation to traveling, and coping with competition nerves, plus tips on how to combine horse ownership with family and work commitments. The Horse and Pony Care Bibletakes the best from traditional horse care but updates it with practical, scientific and medical information, and takes into account lifestyle demands on the modern rider.
