In Harmony With Your Horse:
  Understanding Each Other
  by Clare Albinson

This is the book for anyone who has ever looked at a horse and wondered, "What is he thinking?", "Why did he do that?" or, more often, "Why won't he do that?"

Here you will find a fascinating study into the behaviour and psychology of the horse combined with clear explanations of the basic concepts of balance, both of horse and rider. The book will enable you to understand the mind of the horse and what "makes him tick". You will learn to understand what he is trying to tell you, and how to commuicate with him. You are shown how to develop a better relationship and become the best of friends.

Clare Albinson offers here a unique insight into why the horse behaves in certain ways. She shows us how we can solve problems, improve behaviour and performance, and create, mentally and physically, a harmonious partnership between horse and rider.

  The Right Way to Keep Ponies
  by Hugh Venables

Whether you have a pony already, or are thinking of getting your first one, or buying one for your children, this book will improve your knowledge and provide the information necessary to keep the animal in tip-top health.

From the basic decision about whether to have a pony at all, veterinary surgeon Hugh Venables leads on to the questions of where to keep him, how to house him, where to bed him down, and how to equip a stable. He tackles enthusiastically the question of the quantity of grass and extra food needed, winter and summer.

With his many years' experience of dealing with horses and ponies, Hugh Venables highlights such important matters as clipping, clothing and the pony's tack. Of particular value are his chapters on veterinary matters and on care of the feet and legs.

Now updated in the light of new developments in veterinary science, this remains the essential guide for both new and seasoned pony owners alike.
