description: Intended for the individual whose sleeping and waking dreams revolve around horses or the individual who so desperately wants to count himself among the ranks of horse owners, Janet E. Dzurnak's "So, You Really Want a Horse!" is a no-nonsense book about the pain and pleasures of owning one of these magnificent animals. This informative volum encompasses a wide variety of topics, including leasing versus owning, care, feeding, when and why to call a veterinarian, and even riding etiquette and potential riding hazards. Passionate yet practical, Dzurnak is forthright and open, detailing the necessity for commitment and hard work, as well as the heartaches and disappointments of making a horse a part of one's life. Peppered with anecdotes about Dzurnak's own horse adventures - both on horseback and off - "So, You Really Want a Horse!" tackles all the brass tacks of horse from choosing the right horse to having an animal put down. Dzurnak engagingly offers straightforward advice to the novice horse fancier, sharing all the joy, grief, and fun of owning, caring for, and committing to that special companion.
