Backyard Horsekeeping - The Only Guide You'll Ever Need (Paperback, New and Revised)

As pleasure riding becomes increasingly popular, more riders are contemplating buying their own horse. However, the cost of maintaining the animal at a boarding stable can be off-puting, leaving potential horse owners to wonder if it's possible - and practical - to keep a horse on their own land.According to experienced backyard horsekeeper Joan Fry, the answer is yes. Beginning with the basics, Fry helps readers to consider whether they have sufficient and suitable land, access to a veterinarian and farrier, and available feed supplies. She also carefully leads the prospective backyard horsekeeper through constructing and furnishing a small barn, paddock, and corral; locating and purchasing the horse; as well as feeding, grooming, and otherwise tending to the animal's creature comforts. Backyard Horsekeeping will easily lead the way to maintaining and enjoying your very own horse on your very own property in no time.
