Horses & ponies

As humans, we have relied upon horses for transportation and as work partners for years. While horses aren't essential to our everyday survival now, they are still stunning companions who can provide endless enjoyment for their human caretakers.

At the same time, horses can be very complicated, especially for novice owners. Attempting to research horse care can be very overwhelming if you're new to horse ownership. It's all too easy to find complicated or conflicting advice. How do you determine what's right for your equine companion?

In Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners, Meredith Hill details the ins and outs of horse care, as compiled throughout her over 30 years of experience as a caretaker for horses. From creating the right feed program to manure management, Ms. Hill will walk readers through the ins and outs of horsemanship.

In this book you'll learn:

✓ Is horse ownership right for you?

✓ What does a horse need to be happy and healthy?

✓ What kind of home is right for your horse?

✓ What type of tools and equipment are required for horse ownership?

Horses are beautiful yet delicate animals and have care requirements that differ from nearly every other species of domesticated animal. In fact, you may be shocked to discover each horse requires their own care routine.

Don't worry- Ms. Hill has your back. Throughout Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners, you'll learn how to make the best decisions for your horse's long-term care so that your hooved buddy can live a long, happy life.

If you've always dreamed of having a horse of your own, but don't know where to start Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners by Meredith Hill is an excellent resource that will guide you through all of the practical considerations and concerns of caring for your very first horse.

"Meredith Hill is a very ""horsey"" person who grew up in a very non-horsey environment. Still, armed with endless determination, she is now proud to count over 30 years of participation in the equestrian community. Ms.Hill has spent many years participating in the ultimate equestrian networking activity: cleaning stalls. Her manure technician skills have provided her with insight into a USDF competition barn, several A-circuit hunter barns, an American Warmblood breeding facility, an equine rescue and rehabilitation center, and a more private, backyard barns than she can remember. Through these connections, she's been able to dabble in a wide variety of disciplines including dressage, hunter/jumper, reining, western pleasure, trail riding, three-day eventing, and barrel racing.Given the diversity of her experiences, Ms. Hill has learned a great deal about horses and horse keeping. She has attended and participated in seminars and clinics with top equestrians, including Jane Savoie, John Lyons, Jim Wofford, and Lendon Gray. Though she competed with her college's Intercollegiate Horse Show Association team, she stepped away from the show ring after college to focus on horse care and rehabilitation. Today, she dabbles in dressage with her off the track Thoroughbred gelding, Red, and her AQHA mare, Belle.Download your free checklist now!If you've ever checked out an equine supply website or stopped by a tack shop, you might find your head swimming regarding all of the stuff people buy to help them care for their horses.
