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.

For
those who have suitable premises and experience 'The Retreat Horse Rescue'

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
