A devoted horsewoman, with a lifetime of experiences and anecdotes, provides the prospective owner and horse enthusiast with an in-depth account of issues, challenges, and practical measures that make horse ownership rewarding. The book details the unexpected advantages for the horse and owner that result from limited acreage and a small barn operation. She makes the case with a surprising comparison of horse care in years past to safer, more practical options that make success easier to achieve on a smaller scale.

Very detailed construction descriptions are included with rare anecdotes and personal observations that will help the reader begin to "think like a horse." Mastering the equine mindset is critical if an owner is to be successful in the creation of a safe habitat for any equine. Helpful tips for feeding regimens, stabling, turnout lots, daily routines, general barn management, and veterinary interventions are included.

A great read and an important resource with practical information for the seasoned horse owner or any prospective ones.
