Do you suffer from “Pony Fever”?

Have you been waiting a long time to add a horse to your family?

Have you carefully considered a match between you and your new equine buddy?

Have you decided exactly where he’s going to live and how you’re going to keep him happy?

Do you have moments when the idea of bringing a horse into your life is scary?

Horses are unlike any other animal companion. They’re too big to live in your house, so they have to live in specialized homes of their own. They have specific diet requirements, and they need a regular vet and farrier care to keep them healthy and happy. They’re big, dangerous, and highly opinionated. And you absolutely can’t wait to have one of your own!

• Finding the horse of your dreams...whatever that means
• Determining the best possible living situation for your horse
• Getting organized for bringing your horse home
• Learning how to communicate with your new horse
• Choosing the activities you’d like to try with your horse

• Before Your Horse Comes Home: Introductory Horse Care for Beginners
• I Have a Horse...Now What: How Grooming, Training, Riding, and Equine Competitive Activities Can Build a Lifelong Bond

Whether you have carefully cultivated equine dreams that you’ve held onto for years or you’re just starting to consider adding a horse to your family, Meredith Hill helps equestrians of all ages and experience levels take the next step in their new horse journey.

You need to read this

All of the important horse care tips and tricks and information are in one place. The author mentions needing to do all of the research before pwning a horse because of the immense responsibility they are. I feel like she gives all of the research in one place.

Horse or Teenager

Meredith does a great job at preparing new horse owners. I feel like I have learned almost everything I need to know. Now I am unsure if I really want a horse that may have an attitude like my teenager. All jokes aside this author is amazing and a must-read for any horse owner new or not.

The Horse Bible

A must-read if you're in the horse business or just beginning. There is always something to learn and this is a very basic guide so I think that various levels of equine experts can benefit from this book.

Looking for a first timers horse guide?

Look no further! You have found it. I was surprised by the amount of information in this book. There are multiple parts to this book that break down things you will need to know as a horse owner. I have listened to one other book by Meredith and she is great at putting a lot of information in one place without overlooking important things.

Vets are friends

I have read a few beginning horse care books and respect that Meredith is so humble as she gives information. She has many years of experience and still makes sure to mention that the Vet is your friend. It takes a village to raise a baby and a horse.

Sport Horse

I never thought about it the way Hill explains it. She encourages to pick a horse based on what sports you want to do with your new best friend. This is something I hadn’t thought of before. So grateful for this author sharing her experiences.

All around great book

This book has everything you need to succeed in anything horse-related, it should be your first stop even before deciding you want to own a horse.

Worth the credit!

I had so many credits to spend and wanted to try another Meredith Hill book since these are so insightful. My advice would be to start here as it is more of a general guide and then pick one of her more specific books for further research.

calming and funny

This narrator knows exactly when to change her voice based on what she is reading. If she is reading a fond memory or sad portion her voice is calming and soothing. She transitions into a light-hearted voice when recalling a happy story. This kept me engaged the entire time.

Glad I found it

This author was recommended to me and I am glad I found this book it is exactly what I needed. There were things I needed to hear about owning a horse to make the right decision and this book gave me the confidence to take the first step and the knowledge of what to have before I bring home my horse.
