Horse and Stable Management

Meer over het boek

Since its first edition in 1984, this book has become the go-to resource for practical horse and pony management. It serves as the essential textbook for horse owners and those working with horses. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and reorganized to present the latest procedures and advice, featuring numerous new photographs. Key chapters cover topics such as evolution and behavior, conformation and action, routine preventive measures, nursing sick horses, first aid, lameness, and breeding stock management. This book is vital for individuals preparing for British Horse Society and Association of British Riding Schools examinations, as well as for students in equine courses or pursuing National Vocational Qualifications in horse care and management. The authors bring a wealth of experience: Jeremy Houghton Brown has managed the British National Equestrian Centre and the British Racing School, and has been a principal lecturer in equine studies at Warwickshire College. Sarah Pilliner is an equine consultant and lecturer, while Zoe Davies is a former lecturer in equine science and a consultant equine nutritionist. Previous reviews highlight its clarity, comprehensiveness, and accuracy, making it a valuable reference for anyone involved in horse ownership or care.
