This is an illustrated guide to over 60 breeds of horse and pony.
Each animal is described in context, with sections on its histo-
ry and the evolution of its equine behavior.
Horse and Pony Care
Expert advice on choosing and caring for your horse. All aspects
of stable management and general care are covered, from
bedding, feeding and watering to exercise and grooming,
including braiding, clipping and shoeing. There is also a
section on health and basic first aid, to ensure that your horse
is kept fit and in prime condition, and that you are able to
recognize the first signs of ill-health.
Learning to Ride
This section begins with the novice meeting a horse and
tacking up for the first time, and ends with the competent
rider mastering the intricacies of dressage and tackling fences.
Step-by-step photographs and straightforward text show you
how to get the most out of your horse, from sitting comfortably
in the saddle to using many advanced techniques.
World of the Horse
The wonderful range of activities you can enjoy with your new-
found skills. Find out about all the sports and competitions
available, such as showing and dressage, polo and horseball,
racing and cross-country riding, hunting and show jumping.
Saddlery and Equipment
A guide to the vast array of equipment available. Each piece of
tack is discussed item by item: the saddle, the bridle and
bit, training aids and gadgets, horse clothing and protective
equipment, and the riders clothing. Vissza
