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.

Sponsor a horse
What better way to help us than by adopting one of their horses or ponies?
Have a look though the gallery and chose the pony or horse you would like to sponsor. You will then receive an attractive certificate, cuddly toy and twice a year they will send you a photograph and update on how your horse or pony is getting along.
All they ask is for a minimum donation of £20 a year, which goes directly towards the health and upkeep of your chosen horse or pony.

How to Buy a Pony
They're cute and adorable and can make the perfect gift for a child. But beware; ponies require just as much care and hard work as full-grown horses.
1. Go to horse auctions, visit local horse barns, read a book on how to buy a pony, or visit on a few horse-related Web sites. Become familiar with ponies before you pull out your wallet.
2. Get some expert advice before making a purchase. It is difficult to select a sound pony with a good temperament unless you have a great deal of experience with ponies.
3. Pay special attention to the personality of the pony you're considering buying, especially if a child will be riding her. If a pony is nippy, flattens her ears when touched, or bucks up her hind end when you walk behind her, it's best to bypass that animal.
4. Examine the pony for cracked or deformed hooves, a runny nose or eyes, or a lethargic demeanour.
5. Ask a horse veterinarian to examine the pony you've chosen. This is the best way to ensure you are buying a healthy pony.
