Number of Pages: 64


This book explains exactly how to care for a horse. It covers from food to first aid to grooming. It covers the basics then goes into detail. This tells how you need to have shelter in the pasture, how you need to have a pasture and especially if it is going to be a stable horse/pony, or if it is going to be a grazing horse/pony. It tells the good stuff, and the bad stuff about each kind. It also explains it in an easy-to-understand way. This book also tells how to know if your pony is sick, and it has good pictures of poisonous plants. I think I would recommend this book to someone in 4th - 8th grade, and someone who actually had a chance of getting one. (July, 2002)
