When I first picked this book up and flicked through it, I was impressed by the number of quality photos and diagrams on almost every page helping to convey a clear and thoughtful message.<\/p>\n
With a forward by Pat Parelli and a section from his Partnership System I was immediately attracted to read it from cover to cover.
\nIt is a book packed with so much good, sound advice I wish it could come with every horse sold like the manual your car has.
\nNot only does it deal with equine inter-relationships, but it also covers your relationship with the horse and other horse care subjects such as Stabling from the horse\u2019s point of view, Field and grazing requirements, Nutrition the natural way, Healing and Natural Remedies, Tack, bits and gadgets and Caring for your horse throughout its life.<\/p>\n
Although it is written with a Northern hemisphere slant, there is still a huge amount of relevance for our Australian conditions. It\u2019s 200 pages encased in a hard cover, are packed full of advise on just about every aspect of having horses.
\nWhile an invaluable reference for the new horse owner, there is still plenty of important information for experienced horse owners, particularly those interested in a more natural approach.<\/p>\n
The author does a great job of backing up her explanations with sound reasoning \u2013 very much common horse sense really.
\nHer philosophy of horse care is simply \u201cThink about it from the horse\u2019s point of view\u201d and this shines through her message with many references to horse psychology and how a horse would think or react to certain situations.
\nShe has also cleverly selected photos to show situations as most people would know from the everyday horse world \u2013 the book is not so naturally radical that it would put off further investigation by traditional horse owners.<\/p>\n
It falls into the valuable reference category and that\u2019s exactly what this book is. The many diagrams, charts and amount of scientific information make it well worth the money.
\nThis book is published by Barrons Eduactional Series and Interpet in 2002 and is Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
