DESCRIPTION:
Raising Horses Texann I originally got 'Raising Horses', from the library. My daughter's horse had a 'baby'(our first). This book held so much, and such great information that my family decided to order this book and 'Training Horses', both by Heather Smith Thomas. I highly recommend Ms Thomas books to anyone, at any horse knowledge level.. My equine science bible I have owned, raised, and trained my own horses from a very young age and even though I already know the basics, I found this book to be very useful. From basic horse keeping to in depth descriptions of many equine health problems, this book is one that even the experienced rider and horse owner should have. It contains fabulous drawings and seperates each sections accordingly. I have not found a basic question that this book couldn't answer. It is a must have for any horseman.. facts on horses Melanie M. Holloman This book is not a child's book, but contains information on every horse topic conceivable. It's a good reference for someone new to horse ownership because it contains information on just about everything!
The book's comprehensive coverage includes information on grooming, foaling, housing, diet, exercise, and disease prevention and treatment.The 2nd edition, now with 90,000 copies in print contains new and expanded features:• Up-to-the-minute coverage of diseases and vaccination options• Thoroughly updated advice on hoof care• Expanded coverage of reproductive care and techniquesStorey's Guide to Raising Series is the essential animal husbandry information from the trusted source.

This inexpensive Storey Guide is more useful, concise and complete (from a farm manager's point of view) than my veterinary text, Merk's." - Linda, Twin Brooks, SD.
