 - A real common sense guide.We loved this book because it so thoroughly covered all aspects of horse housing. What we particularly liked is the author's acknowledgement that available building materials may vary in different geographical areas. Planning, Design, and Building - it took us through each step with gentle guidance helping us make our own decisions on what we could afford with time, materials and money available. It began as our 'wish' book for a new home for our 8 horses and helped us design the right facility for them. Rating:  - Unless you're rich, don't bother with this one!All I wanted was some simple instruction on how to build good, strong stalls. Not only did the (very) small section on stalls provide no plans or construction techniques (a pretty important component in any horse-housing structure), this book didn't even tell me what kind of wood I should use. Sure, it's pretty and slick, but unless you're willing to re-mortgage your house to build anything in this book, then don't bother with it. It's OK for a general overview of things, but doesn't get very specific at all. I returned it immediately. page 2 of 2
