In fact, very few of them ever get a chance to meet one. But this anthology, complied from the pages of the phenomenally successful Practical Horseman magazine, provides them with a direct line to some of the leading equestrian experts in America. The thoughts these eminent horsemen and horsewomen express here and the practices they describe are of value to all horse owners, from beginners to advanced, for they are as practical as they are authoritative, having been personally tested and approved to work under real-life conditions ranging from back0yard barn to famous show stable.In outspoken, conversational style often spiced with humor, Karen Healey, Jim Wofford, and Dorthy Morkis, for example, describe in detail how they select, respectively, a Hunter or Jumper, a Combined Training horse, and a Dressage prospect: Melanie Smith tells exactly how she prepares and uses homemade bandages to keep her Grand Prix Jumpers\' legs sound; Buddy Brown and Judy Richter explain the pros and cons of various bits and bridles; Bernie Traurig and Carol Hofmann Thompson discuss their preferences in saddles: Carl Knee gives his ideas on martingales: Walter Hughes, Rodney Jenkins, and Gunner Ostergaard describe their methods for coping with such common horse problems as shying. And this is merely a sample!Smoke-Free home.Book in excellent, like new condition with the exception of some scuffing on the dust cover.
