BOOK REVIEW by Leanne Williams

The BHS (British Horse Society) Complete Manual of

HORSE & STABLE MANAGEMENT

By (First Editing) Islay Auty & (Second Editing) Jo Batty-Smith

This 480 page book has back to back information on EVERYTHING you want or need to know about buying, owning and selling a horse or pony.

Used as one of the main references for the equine education processes in the UK, here in Australia we have adopted it too. Although some aspects are directly related to life in the Northern Hemisphere, most is still directly related to us and our life with our Equine friends.

The emphasis throughout the book is on correct, safe and practical procedures. When originally written this manual was compiled by a panel of experts each contributing from their specialised knowledge.

Now it is a widely used reference, it is a MUST HAVE for every horse owner. There is nothing you will not find in here.
