The BHS Complete Manual of Stable Management

by: British Horse Society

June 06, 1998
The book deals with many different horse management aspects, such as equine anatomy/phsiology, watering and feeding, tack, shoeing, planning day to day chores, clipping, and generally shows how things should be done properly. In particular the sections on nutrition are good, as they cover the biological nutrients needed, the way in which the horse digests food, and how to ration for your own horse covering horses which are used for dressage, jumping, endurance etc. This book will not however answer all of your questions, nor is it meant to. It does however provide more than just a starting point for your research. Trust me I am an equine studies degree student.
