Paperback. A fresh approach to a traditional subject, this handbook will prove an indispensable and definitive guide to pony care.

Written specially for those with no prior knowledge, this valuable book offers straightforward, no-nonsense advice on a wide range of subjects such as stabling, feeding, watering, saddlery, grooming, safety, health, handling, grazing, and tuition. The aim is to educate and inform in a fuss-free way, giving novice owners the confidence and know-how they need to keep their pony happy and healthy. The book guides you through the pitfalls of owning a pony and finding a home which suits both the pony and you. In addition it offers advice about handling, grooming, daily routine, feeding and watering, foot care and shoeing, the pony's health, common disorders, first aid, saddlery, rugs and other equipment, transport and travelling, and tuition.
