Understanding the Older Horse
By: Holland, Robert
Published by: Eclipse Press
Older horses are like part of the family. Many owners still take care of the horses and ponies they had when they were younger. And these horses don't ask for much - just a place to live, food to eat, and a little love and attention. But owners can do more for their older equine friends. The aging process in horses, like in humans, affects all of the body's tissues, organs, and systems. But when kept in good health, many older horses are sound enough to be ridden well into their 20s, and for some, even into their 30s. Until now, practical information to help in caring for older horses has been difficult to find. Understanding the Older Horse provides owners with the guidelines necessary to give their equine senior citizens the best care possible. Written by Dr. Robert Holland, who drew upon his veterinary work for the Kentucky Racing Commission, as well as his childhood experiences of caring for a horse that lived to age 42, emphasizes the importance of developing a complete and consistent wellness management program to fit each horse's needs.

Understanding the Young Horse
By: Sellnow, Les
Published by: Eclipse Press
Training a young horse can be a daunting prospect for the nonprofessional horse owner. How early should you start working with the horse? How often should the horse be handled? What kind of techniques should be used? In Understanding the Young Horse, Les Sellnow, a lifelong horseman with a diverse background in various equestrian disciplines, provides a breaking and training guide that can be used and understood by horse owners of all levels. Using the "building block" method, Sellnow shows how horses, right from birth, can be trained in a patient and consistent manner to respond to their owner or handler. Sellnow traces the steps taken in putting on a foal's first halter to leading, to dealing with the trauma of weaning. From there, the author discusses breaking, then riding the young horse. Horses trained with the "building block" method through their formative years will enjoy the tasks they are asked to perform and will seek to please their owners. Understanding the Young Horse is an invaluable tool for helping owners achieve success in training the young equine.
