A Wealth of Information for Horse Ownership

If you're even remotely thinking of having a horse, this is book is a must! The author clearly explains everything you need to know, from types of breeds, horse care, training, feeding, equipment, barns, and so much more! My younger sister has had horses her whole life and competes on the the weekends. Now that I'm widowed, I'm thinking of having a horse of my own, so this book really helped me understand what horse ownership and care is all about. I highly recommend!

an easy listen

A thorough and informative book. My neice and I listened to this book over the holiday break and we both adored it because little did she know, her parents (my sister) was giving her riding lessons as part of her xmas gift. She was over the moon about this book and kept saying how she wished she could spend more time with horses to use all her new skills. Such a fun bonding experience for us.

Great Information!

I have wanted a horse for a long time and even though I"m not ready to purchase quite yet, this book will be an invaluable resource when I'm ready. Its comprehensive guide, from handling to first aid, simplified the process for me and made it feel less overwhelming and more attainable. Every chapter of this book is necessary for horse owners, but the first two chapters I think are the most important because the expense of owning the wrong horse can ruin the experience. ( I have lots of family members that own horses). These two chapters guide you on which type of horse that is right for you and what to look for and avoid during the purchase process. This book will safe you time, money, and heartache! Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of horse ownership.

Listen to This Before You Buy A Horse

The author created a comprehensive guide that is more like a bible for Horse Care than an audiobook about the basics. I never realized there were so many "basics". I learned a lot about all that is involved in buying, raising, and caring for a horse. There was also information about health, which I found quite valuable. I imagine the author's Amish background played into the considerable knowledge that was shared in Horse Care. After listening to the book, I have become more educated about these beautiful animals and their habits and routines.

I had been thinking about buying a horse but I'm not sure I could handle the responsibility of having my own horse, at least not now and not without some help. I think I would like a Morgan Horse when I do decide to buy one. I loved hearing about all the different breeds and their characteristics. There was so much great guidance and, not only information, but also directions on how to do things, and how often. It was like taking a class.

Well-organized and well-written. Great audiobook. Highly recommended.

A ‘must have’ audiobook

This book is a ‘must have’ book for anyone who wants to buy a horse.

I knew nothing about horses before I listened to this audiobook. Thanks for teaching me about the many various breeds of horses and how to care for them.

I not only would recommend this book to others who want to buy a horse, but I would also recommend this audiobook to anyone who wants to learn more about horses.

A gem of an audiobook

I loved this audiobook. I've been curious for so long about what it would take to own a horse. I feel much more prepared now with all this amazing information. Well-organized, and easy to follow. I'm excited to use what I learned! And the narrator is fantastic!

Excellent

My family and I have been thinking about getting a horse and this was my first stop in my research process. This book is truly all-encompassing, and cover all the bases of what one needs to consider when getting a horse. I particularly liked the thorough section about breed selection, as I know very little about the differences between breeds. This is proving very helpful for determining which breed might be right for my family. Can't recommend this book enough.
