Stressing the importance of understanding a horse's basic needs, Colin Vogel provides precise advice on: feeding, grooming, and exercising your horse all year round; stabling your horse; fitting bits, bridles, and other pieces of tack -- and keeping them in top--notch condition; handling your horse properly -- using correct techniques along with your knowledge of your horse's patterns and temperament; recognizing and treating the symptoms of common equine illnesses; dealing with emergencies, either on your own or with the help of a vet. Complete with charts covering daily, monthly, and annual routines and care, information on transporting and showing your horse, and explanations of how the natural behavior of horses can help you understand your own horse's behavior, The Complete Horse Care Manual provides all the information and the insights you need to keep you horse healthy and fit.

 Good book for someone looking for a broad range of info September 20, 2007
A lot of information in this book. It covers just about everything. I was hoping for a little more information on feeding, but overall a good buy. One note: if you are looking for tack and riding info, this book focuses mostly on english riding. There is very little reference to western riding.
Good reference book on horses January 12, 2007

I bought this book for my daughter who just loves horses. She really enjoys having me read it to her and looking at the pictures. It is a good general reference book for people wanting to learn more about horses.

I found this book to be quite interesting, I bought it as a gift for a friend who is just getting in to horses, and looked it over before giving it. Although most of it is basic, it is not condescending towards the reader, and has many interesting facts. I even learned a few things, and have been a horse person for over 17 years. The photo's chosen to accompany the work are usually helpful, and overall this is an excellent book for someone getting started with horses.
Excellent for new riders December 16, 2005

This is a great book for first learning about horses, how to care for them, feeding, symptoms of illnesses, and it's simple to read and understand. It gives the basics for people who might want to own a horse for the first time so that you can know what to watch out for and take the best care of your horse. I'd recommend this book for first time horse owners, and for people working with horses for the first time. It's comprehensive and gives you a lot of great info.

This horse book was awesome! I will be taking riding lessons this summer and this book helped me get a head start on horse care, like grooming, feed, tack and much,much more! It's a great book for any horse lover even if you don't have or ride a horse. This book makes it a fun, simple way to learn about how to take care of a horse! This is one of my favorite horse care guides out of all of them!
