The 100% Horse
Author: Michael Peace; £13.19
Synopsis
This is often perfectly possible to achieve in familiar surroundings but not when out on the roads or at the showground when a well-behaved horse is a must for safety reasons. Michael Peace has worked with the Metropolitan Police, to find better ways to train their legendarily unflappable horses, by combining a real understanding of equine behaviour with a practical, effective system. These techniques, in keeping with his non-confrontational approach, can be applied to any horse and easily followed by riders who want long-lasting results but don't want to fight with their horses to get them.

The Horses and Ponies
Protection Association is one of the oldest and most respected Charities for
equine welfare. HAPPA was founded in 1937 to help fight against the
transportation of large horses to the continent for slaughter.
However, complaints of horses, ponies and donkeys being ill treated, starved and
abused were reported to the Association, and since then we have investigated
many thousands of complaints.
1997 saw this Association (HAPPA) celebrating its Sixtieth Anniversary. 1997 also saw the saving of 16 racehorses! One would think this could never happen. But it did! It took HAPPA staff from the Shores Hey Rescue Centre hours to save them from the squalid conditions they were living in.
These once proud, now emaciated horsess were standing 3ft deep in their own manure, they were crawling with lice and covered with open sores. HAPPA staff also found the dead body of another horse rotting among them under a pile of pallets!

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
