 Rating:  - Horse Handling and groomingI needed a book for students getting to know horses for the first time. This book provided the information they needed in quick and easy slices. This laid the ground work for more intensive sessions which they will receive later on in their veterinary and general animal care courses. I am very pleased with this book. G.Stratton, SGU. Rating:  - Limited.This book is good for folks who have a basic knowledge of horses but want a little further advice. People who haven't had lessons or are just starting to work with horses for the most part will get confused easily. I got this book for a friend and while there is plenty of useful information tha main things we were looking for were hoof care. The most useful information I found was the section on tying the horse and approaching the horse. This book is helpful but definately not a complete source. ...

The pictures and text appear to be complete on how to do things right and it's my kind of book, no long winded, wasted or unneeded words to make a bigger book thus wasting my time or book shelf space. It does ... Read More Rating:  - Waste of MoneyI condsider myself a beginner. This book is very simplistic. I learned most of these things in the first month of taking lessons. If you have a minimal amount of knowledge, this book would be a waste. Don't waste your time or money. I wish I hadn't.
