Beskrivning

Experienced backyard horsekeeper Joan Fry leads the prospective horse owner through the process of assessing suitable land; choosing a veterinarian and farrier; constructing and furnishing a small barn, paddock, and arena; purchasing a horse; and feeding and care. Of special value to both novice and experienced owners are the sections on feed, which take into account the most up-to-date nutrition research, and training the horse for safe and enjoyable trail riding. Written with encouraging cheer and plenty of “horse sense,” Backyard Horsekeeping leads the way to maintaining and enjoying your own horse on your own property.

Recensioner i media

"Acton resident Joan Fry has turned out a responsible but entertaining manual. Fry adroitly covers hundreds of topics on horse-keeper basics. Even the advanced horse owner will benefit from Fry's insights."--Antelope Valley Press "The title caught my attention because I think the 'backyard' horse and rider have been neglected. Your book, in my opinion, goes far beyond the scope of the backyard horse and should be informative to all readers." Dr. Robert Miller, author of The Revolution of Horsemanship
