Getting Your First Horse
by Judith Dutson
This book answers hundreds of questions prospective horse owners have: What do I need to know to choose a horse? What will my horse need for housing, feed, exercise? How much will all this cost?
It contains lots of information that a first-horse owner needs to know without overwhelming the reader with terminology or facts that might be confusing to a relative novice. It's probably not a good book for someone with very much horse experience, since it would be too elementary. But, for someone who has a little riding experience but no real horse-keeping experience, it's a great book.
I recommend it for anyone who feels ready to purchase a first horse.
