Management has become the recognised source of reliable
information on all aspects of the practical management of horses
and ponies. It is now the established textbook for everyone who
owns a horse or works with horses.
This fourth edition has been radically revised and reorganised
to include the most up-to-date and accurate procedures and advice.
With many new photographs, Horse and Stable Management
includes chapters covering evolution and behaviour, conformation
and action, routine preventive measures, nursing the sick horse,
first aid, lameness and the management of breeding stock.
Horse and Stable Management is essential reading for
those taking British Horse Society and Association of British
Riding Schools examinations as well as those taking college equine
courses or National Vocational Qualifications in horse care and
management.
