This manual provides guidance for the health, safety and happiness of a horse at grass. Areas discussed include: assessing the horse's suitability for outdoor living; fencing, shelter, feeding and watering facilities; day-to-day care; analyzing grass and growing for hay; reconditioning pasture; drainage and soil testing; nutrition; general health care and common ailments; and safety and insurance.
