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!!

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.

Horse Rescue Trust
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 above for full article
