  This guide, written by a journalist with years of hands-on experience in horse-keeping, is for anyone who has ever dreamed of owning and stabling their own horse. The no-nonsense approach encompasses the many responsibilities, challenges and financial implications facing the horse owner, and may even destroy some romantic notions about horse ownership, but the author also manages to convey the undeniable thrill of owning your own horse, of being able to stable and feed, groom, nurture and care for it in every aspect - apart, of course, from the top attraction: you can go for an outride whenever you feel like it. Sensible and authoritative text and fact panels, supported by colour illustrations, detailed diagrams and specially commissioned step-by-step photography, informs readers about how to purchase and care for the horse (or pony) best suited to their needs, pockets and available space.
