Publisher's summary

As humans, we have relied upon horses for transportation and as work partners for years. While horses aren’t essential to our everyday survival now, they are still stunning companions who can provide endless enjoyment for their human caretakers.

At the same time, horses can be very complicated, especially for novice owners. Attempting to research horse care can be very overwhelming if you’re new to horse ownership. It’s all too easy to find complicated or conflicting advice. How do you determine what’s right for your equine companion?

In Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners, Meredith Hill details the ins and outs of horse care, as compiled throughout her over 30 years of experience as a caretaker for horses. From creating the right feed program to manure management, Ms. Hill will walk listeners through the ins and outs of horsemanship.

In this book, you’ll learn:

  • Is horse ownership right for you?
  • What does a horse need to be happy and healthy?
  • What kind of home is right for your horse?
  • What type of tools and equipment are required for horse ownership?

Horses are beautiful yet delicate animals and have care requirements that differ from nearly every other species of domesticated animal. In fact, you may be shocked to discover each horse requires their own care routine.

Don’t worry - Ms. Hill has your back. Throughout Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners, you’ll learn how to make the best decisions for your horse’s long-term care, so that your hooved buddy can live a long, happy life.

If you’ve always dreamed of having a horse of your own, but don’t know where to start, Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners by Meredith Hill is an excellent resource that will guide you through all of the practical considerations and concerns of caring for your very first horse.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Horses are not easy.

The first section to this book is 3 minutes long and in that small amount of time the author successfully outlines what the book will be about and helps you decide if you should continue reading. Through a heartbreaking story the author demonstrates that horses can go through tough medical conditions just like humans. On top of that they are not an animal that is low maintenance. The first section was not the exception. Every single chapter was packed full of information and I’ve learned a lot about horses.

Amazing Resources

This narrator did a great job reading the information and kept me engaged. The book itself had a great amount of information that makes me feel more informed on horses. I am a little overwhelmed and will give it another listen to digest everything. What I found really helpful was the extra resources listed at the end to really help a future horse owner in everything they will need.

Great Book!

This was a great book that gave me all of the education I was looking for. I did not think caring for a horse would be easy. I admire the author for taking care of horses to the caliber that she does for the amount of time that she has. Who knew there were so many components to caring for your own horse. Every section was extremely helpful and guided me towards the decisions I needed to make. Great book and narrator! Worth the listen.

There is so much to know!

The information about horses is even broader than you would think. I am blown away that this author successfully put all of this information in one book and didn't overwhelm me as a reader.

All the horse information in one place

On top of this author putting a bunch of great information in one place, the narrator absolutely does this book justice. I find myself dozing off or losing focus when watching audiobooks but this narrator was able to make it sound interesting enough to where I stayed focused on the book.

Favorite Narrator

I just discovered the best narrator on audible. I have heard plenty of narrators and none of them have managed to have such an even pitch like Bree does. Bree had a great book to narrate and I encourage everyone to listen to anything read by Bree Carlile.
