Stable Smarts: Sensible Advice, Quick Fixes, and Time-Tested Wisdom from an Idaho Horsewoman

Stable Smarts is an fun and useful book. It has tons of easy stable fixes. I've used a number and they have all worked. The best part is that the fixes are inexpensive and safe. I think this book is a must for any horse or any farm animal owner.

I purchased this for my girlfriend who has been a horsewoman for over 30 years. She has been very happy with the ideas presented and has used several already. My only complaint is not with the book but with the ordering process. When I originally placed my order there were several in stock items grouped together. This book had a note that said in stock normally ships in 5 weeks. So I split my order to second day shipping so everything would arrive as soon as possible for Christmas. This book that wasn't going to arrive until after the first of the year showed up the same day as everything else. I was glad to get it but would have been even more glad if I'd not been tricked into paying extra for shipping.

Wow..nice to know that someone will actually share their ideas. Amazing all the things you can do w/ a disposable diaper. She is an incredible woman; I wish I could spend a summer with her. Thank you Heather for sharing your ideas w/ the rest of us. I am constantly picking up your book time and time again.
