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!!

Horse and Pony Breeds
Author: Sandy Ransford; £7.25
Synopsis
The many different breeds of horses and ponies that exist have evolved over generations. Their development has been affected by climate, environment and lifestyle, as well as how they are used - whether as workhorses or to ride for pleasure. This book should help the young horse enthusiast to recognize and identify accurately the different breeds. Each horse or pony is photographed and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the history of the breed, as well the particular characteristics, colours and markings that distinguish that breed from any other.

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
