Horse of Your Own

I purchased a copy of this book serveral years ago and just recently purchased another copy for a friend of mine as a gift. It's a simple book, for the beginner horse owner and has a little bit of everything in it. I found it to be invaluable.

Certain aspects of this book may be a little outdated (see other reviews) but for the most part, this is at worst an introduction and at best a thorough discussion of pretty much every equine and riding aspect there is. This would be perfect for someone who didn't know a lot abouthorses but was interested in learning more about the horse world...this covers pretty much EVERYTHING, from what sesamoid boots are used for to how saddleseat shows are judged to what pinfiring is and so on. This is a quite a tome but I love having it in my library and is my "go-to" book whenever I don't understand what something is or how it works.
