Horse Housekeeping: Everything You Need to Know to Keep a Horse at Home
The two sides of the human relationship with horses are reflected in a new book celebrating the practical and the spiritual. As Margaret and Michael Korda point out, before World War I, practically everyone knew at least the rudiments of horse care, and horses were everywhere. Now most people ride at a stable, and the idea of a backyard horse is an exotic one. For those with the space and the desire to bring their horses home, the Kordas have produced a useful guide to housing backyard horses. Written in an anecdotal style, and full of stories about their own farm, the authors share the triumphs as well as the pitfalls of keeping horses. One of the main things the authors stress is the fact that horse keepers in the long run will not save much money, but will be doing things in the way that they want. A nice addition to the other horse-care books in the collection.Nancy BentCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
