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!!

Keeping
a Pony at Grass
Author: The Pony Club; £6.39
Synopsis
It is one of the Pony Club's longest-lasting and most popular
publications. First published over 40 years ago it tackles its subject - keeping
ponies in good order in safe and satisfactory surroundings - with the utmost
simplicity and good sense. The text and illustrations have been updated to
reflect modern methods of feed and horse management
but the basic philosophy
and wisdom remain intact.

SHRT was established in the 1960s and is the largest equine
Sanctuary in the South. It currently runs a rescue programme for equines that
have suffered neglect
mistreatment or are simply unwanted. We are currently
looking after 211 horses
ponies and donkeys.
We believe every horse
pony and donkey has the right to be
part of a loving family where it will be cared for and loved to the end of its
natural life. Although no animal once rescued is ever sold
where possible we
rehabilitate the animals and
when fully recovered
we "loan" them out to homes
which can provide such an environment. All loan homes are rigorously checked and
the loaned animal is visited from time to time to check on its well-being. If
the loan home is no longer able to look after the animal
for whatever reason
it has to be returned to SHRT.

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
