Download or read book The Natural Stallion written by Lesley Skipper and published by . This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STALLIONS ARE perceived by many people, both inside and outside the horse world, as aggressive and difficult to manage, and in some cases downright dangerous. Comparatively few people have the opportunity to observe stallions in anything like natural surroundings; even fewer will have had the opportunity to study how they interact with their family group in the wild or in free-ranging situations, when left to get on with their lives without human interference. So for the most part people in the horse world will find it difficult to separate the true nature of stallions from the preconceived ideas and expectations of people who have only ever experienced stallion behaviour in very restricted circumstances. Not only are there virtually no books dealing with stallions other than from the point of view of stud management, there are also many contradictory opinions and conflicting advice being offered on the many equestrian forums to be found on the internet. Much of the advice given, and many of the opinions offered, are based on assumptions and information that may not necessarily be accurate, and which in many cases add to the distorted views so many people have about stallions.This book encourages people to view stallions in a more sympathetic light, and to understand that a stallion is still a horse, and has much the same needs and priorities as any other horse, albeit with a few 'extras' which need to be taken into account in training and management. It demonstrates that for the most part it is the prevalent management practices which create problems in managing and handling stallions, rather than the inherent nature of stallions themselves. The book shows how stallions behave when allowed to live as naturally as a domestic situaA--tion permits, and to perform as many of their natural behaviours as possible within the constraints of domesticaA--tion. It gives practical advice on the training and management of stallions, as well as much valuable information on what to do when problems arise. It will be invaluable for anyone involved with horses, but especially those wanting to understand more about the true nature of stallions, and how to keep them as naturally as possible.

Download or read book World Class Grooming for Horses written by Cat Hill and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When owning, training, riding, and showing horses, there is a certain “look” to which one aspires. World-class “turnout”—a horse in peak condition, perfectly coiffed and luminous with health, outfitted with gleaming and well-fit tack appropriate for his sport—can take your breath away. And while it can certainly play a significant role in a competitive rider’s success, it is just as appealing to have any horse “groomed to the nines,” whether he’s headed for an afternoon lesson or just out on the trail. Achieving this superior look is not just about clean tack, shiny brass, spotless stockings, or perfect braids. The most important steps are in the day-to-day nitty-gritty of grooming and caring for the horse: noticing “something not-quite-right” about the way the horse looks or moves before it becomes “something wrong”; brushing and combing and trimming a little every day so the horse’s skin and coat remain healthy; knowing how to prepare a horse properly for training, and how to cool him down afterward. Now, two of the best professional grooms in the business share their trade secrets, with over 1200 color photographs accompanying the ultimate modern-day guide for all riders who want their horses to look and feel their best.
