HOME IS WHERE THE BARN IS

A devoted horsewoman, with a lifetime of experiences and anecdotes, provides the prospective owner and horse enthusiast with an in–depth account of issues, challenges, and practical measures that make horse ownership rewarding. The book details the unexpected advantages for the horse and owner that result from limited acreage and a small barn operation. She makes the case with a surprising comparison of horse care in years past to safer, more practical options that make success easier to achieve on a smaller scale.

Very detailed construction descriptions are included with rare anecdotes and personal observations that will help the reader begin to "think like a horse." Mastering the equine mindset is critical if an owner is to be successful in the creation of a safe habitat for any equine. Helpful tips for feeding regimens, stabling, turnout lots, daily routines, general barn management, and veterinary interventions are included.

A great read and an important resource with practical information for the seasoned horse owner or any prospective ones.
