Synopsis

As the number of people involved with horses increases around the world, the importance of having the correct equipment and using it properly plays a major part in the enjoyment and safety of both horse and rider. There is a bewildering array of horse tack and equipment available today, and it is easy to become confused and end up buying the wrong item for your particular purpose. This highly illustrated book cuts through the confusion and gives clear, concise advice on the use, care and maintenance of all major items of tack, clothing, stable and other equipment, both traditional and modern. Case studies are used to highlight certain points, and readers will be left in no doubt as to just what saddles and bridles, headcollars and halters, schooling aids, boots and bandages they should purchase for the benefit of the horses in their care.
