Getting It Right - A Close Look at Equine Footing (Paperback)

Richard Shrake wrote, "If you love horses, read this book. " Why? Because Getting It Right: A Close Look at Equine Flooring" provides an unbiased analysis of what can be expected from fourteen different types of stall footing. Over thirty years, these different types and more than fifty different brands were tested and compared. However, the purpose was not to declare the "best" or the "worst" products, but rather to provide a detailed analysis of what each would, and would not do. With this information the reader can evaluate his or her priorities and make an educated choice on footing for stalls. Other sections provide information on: Bedding: what can be expected as it interacts with various types of footing. Flooring for aisle ways, wash bays, tack and feed rooms. A special chapter on foaling stalls. Outdoor footing, sections on corrals, turnouts and round pens. Arena Construction, indoors and out. An amazing new approach. Beyond the barn. Feeding stations, gateways, water troughs and on the trail. Twelve Guidelines: Selecting the right stall flooring the first time. Containing charts and 46 full color photographs, the information this book offers will benefit owners of a single horse to a large stable. "If you love horses, read this book --- Richard Shrake "This book's approach gives horses the ultimate in stall cleanliness and comfort while giving us more quality time with our friend, the horse." --- Karen Scholl "Getting It Right: A Close Look at Equine Footing" is a valuable source of unbiased information that every horse owner should have to help make critical decisions about one of the key management aspects of owning a horse." --- Kevin Hankins, DVM, MBA "This book does a fine job of surveying the issues of horse flooring and addressing the many challenges. Thank you very much for providing this and your other information in an easy to use and understand format." --- Professor Eileen Wheeler, Penn State Univ.
