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 at Mossburn

 

Sample horse/pony for fostering

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 above for full article
