  It provides information on how to choose and buy a horse, as well as practical advise on all aspects of daily care. Extended chapters concentrate on how to provide the best environment for your horse. Field and stable management are fully discussed. Other topics covered include stable construction, fixtures and fittings, drainage, bedding, mucking out, watering systems and keeping a field free from harmful plants.
