First Steps by Jane van Lennep

First Steps by Jane van Lennep

Model Number: 9780851316192

£18.95 GBP

In this delightful and informative book, Jane van Lennep guides the amateur horse owner through the vital formative years from weaning to two year old.

Written as a sequel to First Foal, the whole process of bringing on a youngster is examined in detail including the weaning and handling of foals, companionship, stable and pasture management, feeding, basic in-hand training, and showing (with some pertinent comments on the dangers of over-showing youngstock).

Veterinary and behavioural problems are discussed and there is a sound evaluation of the horse's origins and the impact of domestication on both its mental and physical wellbeing.

First Steps will be an invaluable guide and inspiration to anyone wishing to bring on their own young horse, and the author's clear, comprehensive text, complemented by profuse colour photographs, will ensure that this important and rewarding stage of a horse's life is handled with confidence and expertise.

Hardback.
