From the Publisher:
Horses today are living longer than ever before, partly owing to advances in veterinary medicine, but also due to the willingness of owners to keep older horses for pleasure riding and as companions. This book will provide owners and caretakers with a wealth of practical advice for making their horse’s older years healthy and trouble–free. All aspects of care and management are covered: feeding, care of pastured and stabled horses, seasonal care, vaccinations and worming programs, dental care, shoeing, exercise, saddle–fitting, insurance, and retirement options. There’s also a veterinary section that addresses problems commonly encountered by older animals and a helpful section on euthanasia. An essential reference for every horse owner’s bookshelf.
About the Author:
