Each book in the Horse Illustrated Simple Solutions series zeroes in on a common problem faced by horse owners and is the perfect fast-reading source of answers for every horse lover. For example, did you know that a cranky, poorly behaving horse might be just saying, in the only way he can, "Ouch! That hurts!"--a problem that might be found in a chafing saddle or too-tight bridle? And did you know that grooming your horse not only promotes her health and well-being but also mimics the mutual grooming behavior of horses in the wild and so helps create a bond between the horse and her groomer?

| Publisher Description: Daily grooming is a vital part of horse care, and this Simple Solutions title by Elizabeth Moyer encapsulates the benefits and procedure in an easy-to-read entertaining way. Grooming offers many healthful rewards to the horse and also helps to build a bond between owner and his or her horse. This guide, with colorful and instructive illustrations by Jean Abernethy, offers advice on choosing the right equipment (brushes, currycomb, hoof pick, grooming mitts, etc.) and the best way to groom a horse. Starting with the stiffest brush and progresses to the softest one, grooming should systematic for you and therapeutic for the horse. While the goal is to remove dirt and shine the coat, the groomer is also giving the horse quality time and improving its health and hygiene. There are chapters on hoof care, mane and tail care, bathing, and trimming that offer readers specific advice about grooming the horse's whole body. |
