Complete Horse Riding Manual
Author: William Micklem; £18.09
The Ultimate Book for Serious Riders!!
Reviewer: from Ireland
This book really is the ultimate guide for any horse rider -
it takes you right through the steps to
success with
any horse, from beginning, to advanced show-jumping, dressage and eventing. It
has loads of great sections and totally new areas which I haven't seen covered
in any other books before, such as rider fitness and exercises for flexibility,
as well as reams of information on how to THINK, and how mental preparation can
make all the difference to your competitive performance. The diagrams and
graphics are really clever and unlike any other books I've seen before (and
trust me, I own a lot of horse books!!) I've also found the troubleshooting
sections very helpful in overcoming little problems with my horse. In this
massive book, William Micklem seems to have covered it all. This is the best
book on my shelf!!

The Coloured Horse and Pony
Author: Linzy Dickinson; £5.99
Synopsis
Coloured
horses and ponies have grown enormously in popularity over recent years and can
now be found performing in all spheres of equestrian activities and sports.
Increasingly they are benefiting from well-considered breeding programmes that
are retaining and improving on quality, type and conformation as primary
considerations. The term 'coloured' encompasses a vast array of particular
colours, markings and types, and this guide reflects the extent of this range,
giving an overview of colours and types, as well as a useful introduction to
showing. It will serve as a valuable source of information for those who are new
to coloured horses and ponies as well as providing a reference point for the
more experienced horse owner.

Breezer
"Breezer arrived here on the evening of
Sunday 11th of July 2004 as a yearling Shetland filly with badly deformed hind
legs. The condition is known as capped hock and hers is a really bad case. She
came from a breeder who did not want her, because of her condition she cannot be
bred with. He was asked specifically by our mutual vet not to offload her onto
us as we had enough mouths to feed!"

Horse Care: Routine Care: Care of the
Grass Kept
Horse or Pony
The advantages of keeping a horse or pony at grass is that it
is more natural, the horses or ponies can be kept as a group, the risk of
behavoural problems or accidents occurring are less than with a stabled horse or
pony, less attention is needed and costs are lower. However there are also
disadvantages as the grass kept horse or pony may require greater preparation
for riding particulary if wet and muddy.
Although less attention is needed for a horse or pony kept at
grass, it should be checked daily for health and any signs of injury and care is
also needed of the field. The maintenance and management of the field is an
important part of the care of the horse or pony kept at grass to ensure safety,
high quality grazing and lack of poisonous plants. click
